The legend of the Lambton worm tells of the ancient family of the Lambtons. One of the sons was wild and cared nothing for religion, to the disappointment of his parents. One Sabbath, he sneaked out of church to go fishing and caught the Lambton Worm as a drakeling. Finding it too ugly to eat, he threw it in a well. That night, he had terrible dreams about his life as a sinner and the next morning went to the priest to repent. The priest advised the young lad to join the crusades, which he did. When the young Lambton had returned, the same worm he had caught as a boy had grown to its full size and was a menace to the country side. Worse yet, if it was cut in half, the two parts joined together again as if nothing ever happened. Horrified, Lambton went to the village witch who advised him on how to kill the dragon, but demanded that he kill the first creature he saw after the worm's death as her fee. Otherwise, she would curse the family so that nine generations of Lambtons would die away from home. He agreed, and went out to kill the worm, first telling his father to let the old and sickly hunting hound to go ahead when he came to greet his son after the labor. Lambton succeeded, and the happy father, quite forgetting Lambton's instruction, ran ahead of the hound. Lambton refused to kill his father, and so for nine generations every Lambton died alone and far from home.

He is held to be the god of winds, peace, and industry, is called the Lord of the Morning Star, and most closely represents the feathered Amphitere. He was a good and gentle god responsible for all inspiration, and often went among his people as an old man with a white beard and broken walking stick or a young man in a feathered cloak. He taught them agriculture, mining and the secrets of the zodiac thus. He also would not permit human sacrifice in his presence, and only wanted flowers and fruit to be laid on his altar. However, this time of peaceful reign was ended when his sister, the Moon Goddess Tlazoteotl, gave him magic mushrooms and wine, then seduced him in the form of a sensual woman with dubious mortality. When he realized what he had done, Quetzecoatl left his palaces and sailed, naked, on a raft of serpent skins into the sunrise. The fire of the sun set the boat aflame, killed Quetzecoatl, and sent his soul to join with the sunrise. It is believed he will one day return to his people, and once upon a time the Spanish conqueror was mistaken as his reincarnated form, and sadly, used this advantage to defeat the mighty Aztecs.
