MICTLANTEUCTLI “Mictlanteuctli, Great Lord, a sign! A sign from within thy black cave! Iä! Tonatiuh-Metztli! Cthulhutl! Command, and I serve!”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Electric Executioner
"Mictlantecuhtli usually appears as a skeleton of bleached white bones with red, bloody spots. He is often festooned with owl feathers, paper head ornaments and banners, and wears a collar of extruded eyeballs."
Mary Miller & Karl Taube, An Illustrated Dictionary Of the Gods and Symbols Of Ancient Mexico and the Maya
"The underworld, a dangerous place known as Mictlan, is ruled by the devious skeletal god Mictlantecuhtli, Lord of Mictlan"
