The Huitzil robots
were created by Pyron, and were given
orders to destroy all life on the planet. After eliminating the dinosaurs,
they were buried deep under the Earth by a great earthquake. Their functions
remained dead for many years. Many years later (around 520 AD), the Huitzil
were found by the ancient Mayans and were programmed to perform for many
purposes. Their sole purpose was to protect Central America from invaders.
Later, they were put
into the Teotihuacan ruins for another long sleep. However, when Pyron
returned to Earth, one of the robots awakened again and prepared to complete
its given orders once again. Later, due to a malfunction, Huitzil carried out
new orders: to protect a young boy named Cecil. When the primary unit, who
befriended Cecil, was destroyed protecting him from Jedah,
its last act was the reactivation of all the Huitzil units to protect Cecil. Huitzil's
visual design is based on dogu figures, which are small humanoid figurines
made during the late Jomon period of Japan.

Huitzil is a pretty interesting robot design. Visually, he's a big, scary man-eating Japanese robot and all, but he's also
strangely cute(?) in a way, too? lol. I mean look at his face... don't you wanna just give him a hug? ^^ You probably shouldn't give him a hug, seeing as he
was a machine designed to destroy all life on Earth. That's you.
As we all know, robots will
eventually take over the world and kill us all. That said, you could say this
archetype fits into the Darkstalkers rather well. The little kid that follows
Huitzil around is a cool
contrast to Huitzil, and also an interesting part of his design... showing that
Huitzil may have a soft or "human" side. Huitzils also play a pretty awesome role in the
Darkstalkers storyline, and were fleshed out quite well in the
Darkstalkers anime. On a random side note: I was watching an documentary
on aliens and the subject of "dogu figures" came up. One of them looked damn
near identical to Huitzil (especially the face), and that's when I learned Huitzil's visual design is
actually based on dogu figures! ...Interesting stuff.
