The terms “tonal” and “nagual” refer to the supernatural companion animals in which Mesoamerican Indians believe. The meaning of the companion animals for one group of Indians, the Otomi of the Sierra Norte de Puebla. is analyzed. Most of the data for analysis comes from the teachings of a practicing Otomi shaman. The conclusion is that there is only one superhuman animal belief, which is described at different times with the two Nahuatl‐Spanish words “tonal” and “nagual.” Both companion animal images symbolize a feeling of concern for the sick patient and are utilized by shamans in curing rituals
