Answer:

Mayan god “Hurakan”

Explanation:

Huracan: In Mayan language, Huracan means “one-legged”, god of wind, storm and fire. He was also one of thirteen creator gods who helped build humanity during the third attempt. It further caused the Great Flood after the first men enraged the gods. Supposedly lived in the mist over torrential waters and repeated "earth" until the earth emerged from the oceans. Alternative names: Hurakan, Huracán, Tohil, Bolon Tzacab and Kauil.
