In Aztec mythology, the god responsible for shaping the world is Tezcatlipoca. Known as the god of the night sky, he plays a critical role in creation myths, often associated with the forces of war, conflict, and the trickster archetype. Tezcatlipoca's partner is Quetzalcoatl, and their interactions reflect the balance of opposing forces in the universe. His influence is seen in various aspects of Aztec culture, as he embodies both destruction and renewal within the process of creation.
