The first human bloke, married to Oxomoco. They created Calendars and witchcraft, and also Piltzintecuhtli.

If you were expecting Cipactonal to bear a striking resemblance to Cipactli you'll be surprised to find out he isn't at all crocodile-like. That said, he is a bit of a sorcerer so anything is possible.

Having watched Quetzalcoatl struggle for an eternity trying to lassoo a whole mountain full of corn and drag it to the humans, Cipactonal and his missus had a brainwave. They suggested it would be much easier to have Nanahuatl break it with his stick then the Tlaloques could carry individual grains back to mankind. They also carried back Amaranth which sounded like a high alcohol tipple but sadly turned out to be a leafy plant full of iron, fibre and calcium. I bet the Humans were so disapointed.
