Aztec and other Mesoamerican sorcerers and shamans also widely considered Jaguars to be spiritual creatures.

Jaguars were also associated with the night and underworld by the Mayas; a Jaguar is usually used to represent the underworld's Classical Mayan god.

Some have even attributed shapeshifting abilities to Jaguars as well, and many legends suggest that these creatures also intermarried with humans.
