"Huracan (from Mayan Jun Raqan “one legged”): a wind, storm and fire god and one of the creator deities who participated in all three attempts at creating humanity. He also caused the Great Flood after the first humans angered the gods. He supposedly lived in the windy mists above the floodwaters and repeated “earth” until land came up from the seas. In appearance he has one leg, the other being transformed into a serpent, a zoomorphic snout or long-nose, and a smoking object such as a cigar, torch holder or axe head which pierces a mirror on his forehead. He associated with Gucumatz and Tepeu in the second and third creations, building sentient creatiures from wood, and then from maize. He is said to have given humans the gift of fire."
