Vucub Caquix
Legendary bird
Vucub-Caquix (K'iche': Wuqub’ Kaqix, [ʋuˈquɓ kaˈqiʃ], possibly meaning 'seven-macaw') is the name of a bird demon defeated by the Hero Twins of an ancient Maya myth preserved in an 18th-century K'iche' document, the ʼ'Popol Vuh'ʼ. The episode of the demon's defeat was already known by the end of the Mesoamerican Preclassic period, before the year 200, as represented in steles 2 and 25 at Izapa in Mexico, which is its earliest representation and the precedent of the story that was narrated in the Popol Vuh many centuries later.

Vucub-Caquix (K'iche': Wuqub’ Kaqix, [ʋuˈquɓ kaˈqiʃ], possibly meaning 'seven-macaw') is the name of a bird demon defeated by the Hero Twins of an ancient Maya myth preserved in an 18th-century K'iche' document, the ʼ'Popol Vuh'ʼ. The episode of the demon's defeat was already known by the end of the Mesoamerican Preclassic period, before the year 200, as represented in steles 2 and 25 at Izapa in Mexico, which is its earliest representation and the precedent of the story that was narrated in the Popol Vuh many centuries later. In his appearances, Vucub-Caquix is described as a demon bird and a false sun god with shining eyes that daily sat on a big tree to eat its fruits, he was also the father of Zipacna, an underworld demon deity, and Cabrakan, the Earthquake God.
