Tzizimine

The mythical world of Mictlan is wide and it hides the scariest deities, so terrifying that they could not be imagined... because we've drawn them for you!

Here we present to you the Tzizimine, women-like creatures, with rotten, decaying flesh which reveal the skeleton underneath, with clawed hands and feet, wearing ornaments made of skull necklaces and human hearts.

The Tzizimine are nocturnal deities whose purpose was to devour human beings at the end of the Fifth Sun. They would descend from the sky at night and stalk the little kids to kidnap them. They would also appear in the eclipses to eat the sun and swallow the entire humanity.

Our visual artist Sergio Vázquez Heredia has created different versions of these creatures: from beautiful women who wait for travelers at the crossroads, to rotten and hungry creatures.
