An Aztec goddess said to have brought the maguey plant to this world. As granddaughter of a Tzitzimitl, she descended to Earth alongside Quetzalcoatl, disguised as the branches of a forked tree. Her upset grandmother found her, tore her to pieces, and ate her, leaving Quetzalcoatl intact. Later, Quetzalcoatl buried Mayahuel's bones, from which the first maguey plant sprouted.
