Tezcatlipoca

Tezcatlipoca, or "Smoking Mirror," was the god of the darkness, ancestral memory and time. He was also the Lord of the North and represented change through conflict.

Along with the god Quetzalcoatl, he created the world. While doing so, he sacrificed his foot as bait for the earth-monster Cipactli.

Tezcatlipoca usually appears black with yellow stripes across his face, and often assumes the shape of a jaguar.

Tezcatlipoca has the ability to tempt humans into self-destruction. However, when he assumes the form of a turkey he can also cleanse mortals of contamination and remove their guilt.
