Mixcoatl, 'Cloud Serpent,' was a Mesoamerican god identified with hunting, the Milky Way and the stars and heavens in general. The god may originally have derived from a deified hunter and warrior-leader of the Toltec-Chichimec peoples of central Mexico. In mythology, he is the father of the southern constellations and the great Mesoamerican god Quetzalcoatl.
