The supplied excerpts do not record a traditional mythic origin or narrative for Atlacoya. Modern secondary compilations place the name among the roster of Aztec gods and supernatural beings but do not reproduce any classical-era origin story, codex citation, or ethnographic account explaining her birth, genealogy, or place in a pantheon. In the available material Atlacoya's presence is therefore attested as a named figure in lists and summaries rather than through an extant origin myth.
No traditional or primary-source description of Atlacoya's physical appearance is provided in the supplied sources. The materials consulted contain no codex imagery or narrative description; only modern fictional works reuse the name for invented characters, which are not evidence of historical iconography.
Modern summaries in the supplied material label Atlacoya as an Aztec figure associated with drought (described in at least one secondary source as a "goddess of drought") while a separate modern database entry classifies the name as a "water deity." Beyond these brief modern labels, the provided sources do not document specific traditional powers, acts, or narratives describing how Atlacoya causes drought, controls water, or intervenes in human affairs. The divergent modern descriptors indicate inconsistent contemporary cataloguing rather than detailed primary-source attestations of abilities.
Acolnahuacatl
Acolnahuacatl is a name attested in central Mexican sources both as a historical Tepanec ruler of Azcapotzalco and, in several modern compilations and trivia lists, as a minor chthonic or underworld-associated figure (often given the variant Acolmiztli). The evidence in the provided material is divided: the historical/genealogical reading is supported by standard reference entries, while the deity reading appears mainly in secondary online god-lists and quizzes and is not substantiated by detailed primary ritual or mythic texts in the supplied set.
Ahuiateteo
Ahuiateteo (Āhuiatēteoh; also rendered Mācuīltōnalequeh) are a quintet of Aztec deities associated with excess, pleasure, and the dangers that accompany over‑indulgence. They appear in calendrical and codical contexts, are invoked in divinatory practice, and are thematically linked to pleasures (feasting, drinking, gambling, sex, music) and the misfortunes that follow excess.
Ahuitzotl
Ahuitzotl is both the personal name of the eighth tlatoani (ruler) of Tenochtitlan (reigned ca. 1486–1502) known for military expansion and monumental rebuilding, and an onomastic term in Nahuatl for an aquatic animal/legendary creature (commonly glossed 'water thorny' and often associated with an otter or water opossum). The sources treat these registers—historical ruler and animal-name—as related but distinct uses of the same Nahuatl lexeme.
Ahuizotl
Ahuizotl is identified in the provided sources as an Aztec mythological creature; the same lexical form also names an historical Aztec emperor (Ahuitzotl). The available materials for this entry are limited to modern reference pages and a small set of artistic and popular-culture uses of the name, and do not contain primary indigenous mythic accounts or detailed ethnographic descriptions.
Akateko
Akateko (赤手児, lit. 'red child's hand') is a yōkai from Japanese folklore commonly told as a small, red, disembodied child's hand that appears from trees—especially the Japanese honey locust—and startles travelers; in some regional variants it is accompanied by a specter of a young woman or manifests as paired foot- or leg-like apparitions. Accounts vary between mostly harmless trickster apparition and a violent variant that attacks humans.
Alicante
Alicante is attested in available reference sources as the proper name of a mythological snake identified with Mexico. The surviving entries provide only the name and a categorical label (mythological snake) without accompanying narrative, attributes, or ritual context.
Amimitl (Opochtli)
A Mexica/Aztec deity associated with fishing, hunting, and water-related technologies; identified in sources with the better-documented figure Opochtli, "The Left," who functions as a specialized patron of implements and as a representative or attendant of the rain god Tlaloc. A temple in the Tira de la Peregrinación has been interpreted by a scholar as possibly belonging to a figure labeled Amimitl, but that identification is uncertain.
Atabey
Atabey is a principal Taíno ancestral mother-spirit (a zemi) associated with fresh water, fertility, and prime matter; she appears in early ethnohistorical transmissions with multiple names and manifestations ranging from nurturing mother to violent storm-mother.
Atlahua
Atlahua is an Aztec water-associated deity attested in colonial and modern summaries as a water god described as a fisherman and archer, identified in sources as a blue/aspectual form of Tlaloc and invoked in contexts of deaths in water.
Atlaua
Atlaua (also recorded as Atlahua, Ahtlahua, Atlahoa, Atlavâ) is an Aztec water deity described in the provided sources as a water god, fisherman and archer who was worshiped at multiple temples and was prayed to by the Aztecs when there were deaths in water.
Aztec Creator-Brothers
A quaternity of primordial divine offspring in Aztec (Mexica) myth who dwell in the highest heaven Ilhuicatl-Omeyocan as children of Omecihuatl and Ometecuhtli. Identified in sources with fourfold aspects (conventionally four Tezcatlipocas / colored aspects such as Black, Red, White, Blue) they act as cosmological agents who create living beings, take turns ruling as the Sun in successive world-ages, and participate in sacrificial acts that sustain cosmic cycles.
Cadejo
A dog‑shaped nocturnal spirit from Central American and adjacent Mexican popular belief, the cadejo appears on lonely roads as a protective or dangerous companion. Rooted in Mesoamerican ideas of animal companions and psychopomps, modern accounts present white (benevolent) and black (malevolent) variants with regionally variable features.
