Centzon Tōtōchtin Explained

In Mexica mythology, the Centzon Tōtōchtin (in Nahuatl languages pronounced as /sent͡son toːˈtoːt͡ʃtin/ "four-hundred rabbits"; also Centzontōtōchtin) are a group of divine rabbits who meet for frequent drunken parties. They include Tepoztecatl, Texcatzonatl, Colhuatzincatl, Macuiltochtli ("five-rabbit"), and Ometochtli ("two-rabbit"). Their parents are Patecatl and Mayahuel^[1] and they may be brothers of Ixtlilton.
