Mictlantecuhtli is a character in Onyx Equinox. He is one of the antagonists of the series, sinking cities into the Underworld.

Appearance
This depiction of Mictantecuhtli resembles a giant red skeleton with 5 pairs of arms and a golden headdress, decked with gold and turquoise head ornaments. A long mane of black hair extends from behind his headdress.

His smaller form resembles a tall figure with shiny, blood red skin and 10 arms. His body extends into a long, singular column in place of two separate legs, the base ending in tentacles allowing him to move. His face resembles a skull, resting upon an exceptionally long neck. Two long, pointed horns extend out horizontally on either side of his head, similar to the horns of a bull.

Personality
Mictantecuhtli regularly sinks entire cities into the underworld, which the other gods assume to be out of greed for humanity's blood. He is not cruel without reason, however, as he intends to maintain balance within his domain and save resources for the equinox. Mictlantecuhtli can also be described as wise, as he shares important knowledge and advice with Mictecacihuatl He does show some leniency and is willing to make deals and compromise.

Trivia
He is based on the Aztec god of the underworld.
