Group of divine rabbits in Aztec mythology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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