Sacred figure · not a mascot
Origin & cultural context
Yucatec Maya · Chichén Itzá
Kukulkan is the Feathered Serpent deity in the Chichén Itzá context, associated with rulership, the heavens and creation. This Maya context is not interchangeable with Mexica Quetzalcoatl, despite historical relationships between feathered-serpent traditions.
Not all figures here are benevolent guardians. Sacred beings, tricksters and complex myths are presented for cultural learning, not as interchangeable mascots. No ceremonial authority, restricted rites or supernatural guarantees are claimed.
