In Aztec Mythology , Tepoztecatl (or '''Tezcatzontecatl''') was the god of Pulque , of drunkenness and fertility. He is a consort of Mayahuel , who is a mask-avatar of Xochiquetzal . According to the myth, Tepoztecatl was one of the four hundred children of Mayahuel and the god Pantecatl . As a deity of pulque, Tepoztecatl was associated with fertility cults and Tlaloc .
