While looking through the new Underworld pics, this one caught my eye:

As you can see, it shows Lara tumbling a block onto what appears to be a door. On this door you can see an almost skull-like face that appears to be breathing fire. My interest piqued, I searched for fire-breathing Mayan gods. While I didn't find any that specifically breath fire, I did find this particular fellow:

As you can see he greatly resembles the face on the door. His name is Cizin,meaning "Stinking God", the Mayan god of earthquakes and death.That caught my attention, since it's rumored that in Underworld there are demons being released who are causing natural disasters. Cizin also is described as the ruler of the Mayan "subterranean world of the dead", and it's said he may represent "one aspect of a malevolent underworld deity known by various names and in various guises". So I have several theories as to what part he plays: Either Cizin is our new "Fluffy" (or is Fluffy himself), he could be a sort of "general" to the ruler of the underworld, or he could be the ruler of the Underworld himself.
EDIT: ooooh, I just saw I'm a professor now :D
