When the jaguar warriors needed someone to walk between the world of the living and the realm of the dead, they found their champion.

This haunting variant replaces the living face with a human skull, transforming the elite warrior into something far more supernatural. The name says it all—Mictlān, the Aztec underworld, where this warrior clearly made a deal with forces most mortals fear to acknowledge. The skull peering from beneath the jaguar’s fangs creates layers of predatory menace: beast of the jungle combined with death itself.

The elaborate feather work crowning this fusion of mortality and feline power takes on new meaning—these aren’t just ceremonial decorations, they’re spiritual symbols marking a warrior who’s transcended normal existence. That skeletal grin suggests someone who’s seen beyond the veil and returned with knowledge that makes earthly combat seem trivial.

Perfect for building supernatural champions, death cult enforcers, or exploring darker fantasy alternatives where Mesoamerican mythology meets the undead. The substantial print rewards careful painting—those bone textures contrast beautifully with vibrant feathers and spotted jaguar patterns.

Display alongside the living version to show the before and after of ritual transformation, or field an entire undead jaguar battalion that answers to no mortal authority.
