Xanlecutli the Coatl

Connections

  • One of eleven gods of the Jaguar Kingdom saved by Queen Nai

Context

Although the Aztecs had dozens of gods in their pantheon, research into "Xanlecutli the Coatl" have come up empty, so this diety is likely not based on real Aztec mythology. It is worth mentioning, however, that the word "coatl"  is translated as either "serpent" or "twin." So, calling one god "Xanlecutli the coatl" and the other "Eba the snake" could be either strangely redundant or could hint at a relationship between the two deities.
