Ixtlilton
Ixtlilton (Nahuatl languages: Ixtlilton pronounced [iʃˈtɬiɬton],"the little black one") in Aztec mythology is a god of medicine and healing[1] and therefore was often alluded to as the brother of Macuilxochitl[citation needed], the god of well-being or good luck. Ixtlilton was a gentle god, who emanated from an obsidian mask which brought darkness and peaceful sleep to children in their beds at night.[2]
