Description

Also known as "The Animal", "Lord of the Evening Star", and "Lord of the Underworld".
Kinda wanted to keep doing more mythological/legendary characters after drawing Kali ([link]), and since it's practically Halloween, I figured that I'd draw me a darker figure...
So that's why Xolotl is here. This dude was the god of a whole lot of things, like lightning and bad luck, as well as being a psychopomp, or an escort for the dead, and he was even a patron for the game Ulama.

I wanted to combine all the different descriptions of him into one thing here, and if it wasn't for school, I probably would've come up with a background for him as well...

I love how this seems to be one of the most accurate depictions of Xolotl on DeviantArt. From the ugly dog head to the backwards feet. Also I don't know if Xolotl had one but I remember reading that he also had a Wind Jewel on him somewhere. Btw, what's your take on Xolotl's morality Good or Bad? I'm relatively new to reading about him so I don't know the solid facts.
