Yig

==Summary==
Yig is a Great Old One worshiped as a snake deity by the tribes of Central America. It is a half-anthropomorphic serpentine entity and believed to be the source of the mythical Quetzalcoatl and Kukulcan. Yig's chief trait was a relentless devotion to his children—a devotion so great that his worshipers were deathly afraid to harm any snakes, even in the case of self-defense. A well known tale describes Yig as punishing any mortal that defies him or harms his children by torturing them and turning them into a spotted snake (something later proven to be more than a mere myth).
