In Aztec mythology, Coyolxauhqui ([Coyolxāuhqui] Error: {{Langx}}: transliteration of latn script (help), "Face painted with Bells") was a daughter of Coatlicue and Mixcoatl and is the leader of the Centzon Huitznahuas, the star gods. Coyolxauhqui was a powerful magician and led her siblings in an attack on their mother, Coatlicue, because Coatlicue had become pregnant.
