Tonatiuh is Our Lord the Sun. His name means You Are Like a Shining, a reference to His role as illuminator and creator of the World. Every morning He defeats the forces of darkness, who seek to conquer the cosmos, and He brings order to the places where chaos reigns
In the evening, however, He is defeated by the creatures of the night, who devour Him, and in death He descends to the Underworld, from which He emerges victorious at sunrise
One of His nahualtin or spirit animals is the deer, which, like the Sun, jumps all over the sky.
