Fox Trickster (Mixtec)
The fox figures in Mixtec and wider Mesoamerican oral tradition as a clever, deceptive animal, though the specific 'Mixtec fox trickster' of this entry is a synthesis. The input's claim of codex illustrations showing a fox-headed, staff-carrying figure is unverified. What is attested is the fox as a wily trickster animal across the region's folktales.
