Another god of sacrifice (aren't they all?) and lord of the Aztec realm of the dead.

For a civilization obsessed with death, their underworld Monarchy seem a little bit shy and reclusive. Sure, they pop up to stick their names on the odd day sign but apart from that they're virtually unknown quantities.

Maybe Mictlantecuhtli the laughing maniac of Mictlan has brought them all under his cruel hand of oppression so he can hog the limelight himself. Or maybe the Spanish just made them up.

This one may also be Chalmeccacihuatl.
