Quetzalcoatl, Toltec and Aztec god and legendary ruler of Mexico, usually
referred to as the Plumed, or Feathered, Serpent.

"Feathered Snake". One of the major deities of the Aztecs, Toltecs, and
other Middle American peoples. He is the creator sky-god and wise
legislator. He organized the original cosmos and participated in the
creation and destruction of various world periods. Quetzalcoatl ruled the
fifth world cycle and created the humans of that cycle. The story goes
that he descended to Mictlan, the underworld, and gathered the bones of
the humanbeings of the previous epochs. Upon his return, he sprinkled his
own blood upon these bones and fashioned thus the humans of the new
era. He is also a god of the wind (the wind-god Ehecatl is one of his
forms), as well as a water-god and fertility-god.
