Singular: totec, which seems related to the name of the deity, Xipe Totec, as the tototecti were involved in a ritual battle with the xipeme. One totec was named Youallauan (Yohuallahuan). He went with the other tototecti, who went skirmishing with the xipeme (another type of captives to be sacrificed). They fought with pine staves. The xipeme hit back with rattle sticks (chicahuaztli). Eagle and ocelot warriors also got involved. (sixteenth century, central Mexico)
