In Mexica (Aztec) mythology, a two-headed deer plays a role in the origin story of the god Quetzalcoatl. Specifically, Mixcoatl, a sky and fire god, is said to have shot a two-headed deer with an arrow, which then transformed into a woman. She later became impregnated by Mixcoatl, giving birth to Quetzalcoatl.
