VUCUB CAQUIX
Maya Underworld God
Also known as Vucab-Cakix, Vucab-Came, Vucub Camé
Demonic Deadly Death God of the Maya Underworld
He is a Lord of Xibalba, the Maya Underworld, along with his colleague Hun-Came.
His name means ‘Seven Macaw’ and he’s the Gigantic Bird God Monster who set himself up as the Sun God but lost at darts to the Hero Twins — who cheated and used blowpipes. His sons were also troublemakers, being the giant demons Cabrakan and Zipacna.
According to legend, Vucub Caquix carried the false sun in his beak and was shot down in flames at the end of the last creation.
Interestingly enough, in the constellation of Cygnus his beak holds the mysterious star X-1, which became a super-nova and now seems to harbor a black hole.
