Miquiztetl was one of the deities of death, along with her twin brother Xoaltentli, the god of dreams and mental illness, from whom she stole the crude facial features, thus becoming uglier than him.
She lived in Mictlan, and her role was to deceive and confuse the dead, to make them forget about their mission of traveling through the nine levels of Mictlan, preventing them from reaching their ultimate goal: free their soul (Tonalli) from the mortal, rotten body, arriving before the two mighty gods Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, rulers of Mictlan.
