What's a Coatl?

Dragon species from Flight Rising, though they should be tagged as coatl_dragon.

And Couatl is a species of feathered serpents that are common in tabletop RPGs. Usually of the Lawful Good type.

Basically these:

Might be worthwhile to just use the feathered_serpent tag instead of trying to use the couatl tag at all. Since it is somewhat ambiguous. Setting-specific Couatls can be tagged as couatl_(world_of_warcraft), couatl_(d&d), etc.

Quetzalcoatl is already for feathered serpents, though. Shouldn't there be an alias?

I would've assumed that the Quetzalcoatl tag is for the deity, but it is currently categorized as a species instead of a character. Which is odd.

...I suppose it could be argued that it's hard to tell which ones depict the deity, and which are just generic winged serpents. Though most posts under the Quetzalcoatl tag seem to be of various OCs who are named after him (and most aren't even serpents), so either way it should probably be disambiguated.
