3	* [[BigBad Tzekel-Kan]] is a pretty vile villain. Extremely power-hungry, sadistic, bloodthirsty, manipulative and even [[AxCrazy psychotic]]. He takes ''glee'' in human sacrifice.
4	** He adds ''his own assistant'' to the concoction to finish the summoning stone jaguar.
5	--->'''Tzekel-Kan''': Ah, that's what is missing. It needs more...''body''. (''kicks his assistant into the cauldron'')
6	* The entire scene with the stone jaguar, where it suddenly emerges from the temple growling menacingly. Miguel and Tulio's girly screams are completely justified.
7	** Then Tzekel-Kan comes out from behind the jaguar and taunts the heroes.
8	--->'''Tzekel-Kan''': Now everybody will know the truth of your "divinity"!
9	** As the jaguar continues to attack the city, Tzekel-Kan's eyes glow a sickly green and ''his fingernails extend into claws'' - mirrored by the jaguar statue extending its claws.
10	** The stone jaguar chases Miguel and Tulio into a lava flow where they're nearly tipped into the magma that the creature eventually sinks into. Is it defeated? Nope, it simply ''leaps out of the lava'' and continues to chase the duo, eventually cornering them at the edge of a cliff.
11	* Hernan Cortez himself when he first meets Tulio and Miguel is pretty creepy, the darkness that surrounds him and the way that he looks contribute greatly to the effect.
12	** Noteworthy that his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJSFLS9A3GM Leitmotif]] is none other that the [[DeathlyDiesIrae famously ominous Dies Irae segment]] from ''Music/SymphonieFantastique'' which mirrors what he will be for the natives.
13	** It's also pretty clear that he intends to slaughter ''everyone'' in El Dorado if he arrives there, and when the heroes hear that he is being led to the city by Tzekel-Kan, they ''immediately'' try to close the city off from the outside world for the sole purpose of stopping Cortes.
