"Ravage the battlefield with whirlwinds. Wreak havoc with the spirit of the winds."

Kukulkan is one of the playable Gods in SMITE.

Lore

Upon the high winds of Mayan lands rides the feathered serpent, Kukulkan. Awesome and terrible to behold, majestic yet sinister, Kukulkan embodies the danger and beauty of a double-edged sword.

Time has worn away knowledge of this God like the breeze over stone. Perhaps Kukulkan prefers this. He is known by many names and worn the face of man and beast - and worshipped with the kind of reverence born of fear.

Dotted across the vast forests of the Mayan lands stand great pyramids bearing his serpentine likeness, architecturally perfect so as to catch the light and bring to life those slithering stone statues. Painted in blood, sacrifices were made upon these sites to appease Kukulkan. He is the lord of death and rebirth.

To the world, he brought the four elements, but of wind he keeps control. A great gem, worn about his sinuous neck is said to be the source of all air.

To the people, he brought the calendar. That glorious, portentous stone disk, which counts time to a distant future, only to stop abruptly and with horrifying finality.

To the battlefield, he brings a legacy of power and domination. Sacrifices made for his favor were measured in blood, but mortal blood is weak. It seems that, for Kukulkan's ultimate appeasement, the blood of a God is required.

Trivia

General

Months before the current Ao Kuang was released, the original Ao Kuang went through a major revamp on September 10, 2014 that turned him into Kukulkan.
Kukulkan, as Ao Kuang at the time, was one of the 17 playable gods in SMITE closed Beta.
Kukulkan has been a free starter character for every new player account created since May 15, 2018. Accounts made before this date must still unlock him (2500 / 200 ).
One of Kukulkan's jokes, "I can't run into myself or it's game over!", is a reference to the video game Snake.
Kukulkan's dance emote is based on The Worm.
