| rdfs:comment | - Huehuecoyotl is the Aztec god of song, music, dance, mischief and male sexuality, he is part of Tezcatlipoca's family and inherited their shapeshifting ability, to the point of appearing as a female on some myths. Though his name can be roughly translated as "The Very Old Coyote", Coyote in Aztec culture was a symbol of pragmatism, male beauty and youthfulness.
- Huehuecoyotl was an Aztec trickster god featured in Supernatural: Coyote's Kiss.
- As all Aztec deities, Huehuecóyotl was dualistic in his exercise of good and evil. He was perceived as a balanced god; depictions of his dark side include a coyote appearance (non-human) with black or yellow feathers, as opposed to the customary green feathers. In most depictions of Huehuecóyotl, he is followed by a human drummer or groups of humans that appear to be friendly to him (as opposed to worshipping), which is exceptional in Mesoamerican culture. The fourth day of the thirteen day Mexican week belonged to Huehuecóyotl.

| abstract | - Huehuecoyotl is the Aztec god of song, music, dance, mischief and male sexuality, he is part of Tezcatlipoca's family and inherited their shapeshifting ability, to the point of appearing as a female on some myths. Though his name can be roughly translated as "The Very Old Coyote", Coyote in Aztec culture was a symbol of pragmatism, male beauty and youthfulness.
- As all Aztec deities, Huehuecóyotl was dualistic in his exercise of good and evil. He was perceived as a balanced god; depictions of his dark side include a coyote appearance (non-human) with black or yellow feathers, as opposed to the customary green feathers. In most depictions of Huehuecóyotl, he is followed by a human drummer or groups of humans that appear to be friendly to him (as opposed to worshipping), which is exceptional in Mesoamerican culture. Stories derived from the Codex Telleriano-Remensis make him a benign prankster, whose tricks are often played on other gods or even humans but tended to backfire and cause more trouble for himself than the intended victims. A great party-giver, he also was alleged to foment wars between humans to relieve his boredom. He is a part of the Tezcatlipoca (Smoky Mirror) family of the Mexica gods, and has their shapeshifting powers. Those who had indications of evil fates from other gods would sometimes appeal to Huehuecóyotl to mitigate or reverse their fate. Huehuecóyotl shares many characteristics with the trickster Coyote of the North American tribes, including storytelling and choral singing. The fourth day of the thirteen day Mexican week belonged to Huehuecóyotl. He was the only friend to Xolotl who is the god of twins, sickness and deformity and accompanies the dead to Mictlan (the underworld of Aztec mythology). Their association is born from the canine nature of both gods.
