In Aztec mythology, Xolotl (Nahuatl pronunciation:[ˈʃolot͡ɬ]ⓘ) was a god of fire and lightning. He was commonly depicted as a dog-headed man and was a soul-guide for the dead.[2] He was also god of twins, monsters, death, misfortune, sickness, and deformities. Xolotl is the canine brother and twin of Quetzalcoatl,[3] the pair being sons of the virgin Chimalma. He is the dark personification of Venus, the evening star, and was associated with heavenly fire. The axolotl is named after him.
