thumb|264x264px|Zacatzontli, Borgia Codex, he has an eagle as sun's symbol guide Zacatzontli, in Aztec mythology, is the god of the road during the day.
Zacatzontli has an eagle as a guide, a staff in his left hand, and a bag full of quetzals in his right hand. He can be a protector of merchants, thus equating him with the Mayan god Ek Chuáj. Unusually, Zacatzontli does not have a headdress, only a feather.
