K'otal
The eagle (k'otal) appears several times throughout the Popol Wuj, most notably in the cloak that B'alam Aq'ab' gives as his sign to the two maidens who are nominated by the Tribes to trick Tojil and ensure the safety of their people. Later, the K'iche' leader Q'ukumatz descends to Xib'alb'a and transforms into a serpent, an eagle, and a jaguar during a 21-day period of change and contemplation.
