Huitzilopotchli

The solar and war deity of sacrifice in Aztec religion. He was also the patron god of the Aztecs and their capital city, Tenochtitlan. He wielded Xiuhcoatl, the fire serpent, as a weapon, thus also associating Huitzilopochtli with fire. The name is often translated as "Left-Handed Hummingbird" or "Hummingbird of the South". However, a more accurate translation may be "the left (or south) side of the hummingbird". [Huitzilopochtli, Wikipedia]

Arthur Feldon believed that Huitzilopochtli was coming back. Feldon thought that he, Quetzalcoatl, and Huitzilopotchli would rule the world. The Electric Executioner narrator pretended to be receiving a message from Huitzilopochtli, but Feldon got much more excited when the narrator mentioned Cthulhutl, Niguratl-Yig, and Yog-Sototl.
