Five Aztec Gods symbolizing over-indulgence and the consequences thereof. Kind of like an Aztec seven deadly sins, except there's only five of them.

'MACUIL' means five and you can call them :

Macuil-Tochtli : Five-Rabbit
Macuil-Malinali : Five-Grass
Macuil-Xochitl : Five-Flower-Prince
Macuil-Cozcacuahtli : Five-Vulture
Macuil-Cuetzpalin : Five-Lizard

Each one represents a different aspect of pleasure and why excess is a bad thing. I'm sure you've already noticed, they all begin with the letter 'M' - thats 'M' for moderation. Take note.
