The provided sources do not record a single canonical origin myth for Cizin/Kisin. Scholarly summaries identify the figure as a principal Maya death deity (labeled in scholarship as 'God A') and note that the death‑deity role is represented by a cluster of names and regional variants—for example, the 16th‑century Yucatec names Hunhau and Uacmitun Ahau—suggesting the death god's identity varies by place and period rather than arising from one universally attested origin narrative in the cited materials.
The supplied excerpts do not give a consistent, reliable physical description of Cizin/Kisin. Popular summaries and tertiary sites identify him as a death god but the provided material lacks standardized iconographic detail; therefore specific, repeatable attributes (dress, bodily form, skeletal features, accoutrements) are not documented in the cited sources.
Across the sources Cizin/Kisin is consistently associated with death and is also described as connected to earthquakes. Scholarship frames him among the set of Maya death gods and compares him to other Mesoamerican death sovereigns (for example, similarities have been noted with the Aztec Mictlāntēcutli). The provided material does not document particular narratives of action (such as selection of souls, demands for sacrifice, or specific interactions with the living) so more detailed behavioral claims are not recorded in these excerpts.

Moon Rabbit (Maya Tradition)
A mythical figure associated with lunar mythology, said to pound elixir or medicine for mortals and occasionally foodstuffs. (Note: 1. Power tier: Downgrade to Ancient, as while it's associated with lunar mythology, its abilities are not cosmic in scope. 2. Abilities: Add that the contents of the mortar differ among cultural tradi)
Vision Serpent
Central figure in Pre-Columbian Maya mythology, symbolizing divine power and wisdom, often associated with visions or insights. (Note: - Power tier: downgrade to Ancient (deity-level) as Primordial implies a cosmic or world-shaping entity, which may be too powerful for this entity. - Appearance: add "usually depicted" to indicate tha)
Circle of Eight (tradition)
No folkloric or mythic entity called 'Circle of Eight' is documented in the supplied sources. The phrase appears only in modern, secular, and creative contexts (a film title, a gaming campaign milieu, organizational/event names, and miscellaneous web uses) and not as a traditional supernatural being.
Circus of Strange
The Circus of Strange is a fictional, carnival-themed criminal troupe appearing in DC Comics, organized and led by the villain Professor Pyg. Introduced in Batman and Robin #1 (August 2009), the group stages violent, theatrical assaults in Gotham City and creates brainwashed minions called Dollotrons.
Ciriatto
Ciriatto is one of the Malebranche, a named demon-guard in Dante Alighieri’s Inferno who appears in Cantos XXI–XXIII as an enforcer over the fifth bolgia of the Eighth Circle (Malebolge). His Italian name denotes porcine qualities and the poem characterizes him with a single descriptive epithet meaning 'tusky.'
Cisseus
Cisseus is a personal name borne by several distinct human figures in ancient Greek and Roman mythic traditions. Bearers of the name appear as kings, fathers, warriors, and members of dynastic genealogies across Homeric, tragic, mythographic, and Roman epic sources rather than as a single supernatural being.
Citizen V
Citizen V is a legacy codename used by multiple fictional characters in Marvel Comics, originating in the Golden Age (1942) as a World War II–era resistance figure and subsequently reused by different individuals across decades. The mantle is tied to the V-Battalion organization and later appears in modern team contexts such as the Thunderbolts.
Clanis
Clanis is a taxonomic genus of moths in the family Sphingidae, erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819 and used to group related hawkmoth species (for example Clanis bilineata). The name also appears in non-biological contexts (a Martian channel system Clanis Valles and various personal names), but the provided sources do not treat Clanis as a folkloric or supernatural entity.
Classical elements
A conceptual classificatory system in ancient natural philosophy that reduces material diversity to a small set of basic constituents (typically earth, water, air, fire, sometimes aether). Used to explain the properties, changes, and motions of natural bodies and to ground medical and alchemical practice.
Claudas
Claudas is a literary, mortal king in Arthurian romance who functions as a hostile royal antagonist: a conqueror of neighboring realms (the Terre Deserte in the Berry), captor of heirs, and later defeated ruler whose family is partially assimilated into the chivalric order.
Claverack Giant
A local Hudson Valley/Catskill folkloric monster — a large humanoid/ogre-like figure tied to Claverack and nearby sites. Appears in regional tale collections (notably McMurry) and is discussed in scholarship as part of American monstrous imagery (see the chapter title in Semon's study).
