"Not much is known about the jaguar on the footage. The Indians believe it is a god. They call it 'Tezcatlipoca'. The god of death. There are rumors of sacrifices being made to 'Tezcatlipoca'."

―Diana Burnwood, Controller, The Agency

Tezcatlipoca is an unusually large, and extremely fast jaguar worshiped by the U'wa tribe as their "God of Death".

It can be encountered during "The Jungle God" when Agent 47 attempts to locate a secret passage to Pablo Ochoa's camp. Killing the jaguar will provoke the U'wa's anger, turning all U'wa tribesmen hostile against Agent 47. The Jaguar blocks the passage, so to use it, 47 has to kill some animal, indian or drug dealer man and put the body over an altar, buying him time to sneak past as the jaguar is busy eating.

As the altar was bloody, it appears the indians made sacrifices to the jaguar.

Trivia

• If killed by it, 47 dies in a special White void cutscene.

• 

  White screen death of Tezcatlipoca, the Jungle God.

  This is the second non-target displayed as one in the briefing. The first one is the U'wa idol.
• The head of a jaguar is featured on a mantle as an Easter egg and reference to this god found in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin's The Jacuzzi Job.
• Tezcatlipoca, in reality, is considered an Aztec deity, usually associated with different concepts like the night sky, the night winds, hurricanes, the north, the earth, obsidian, enmity, discord, leadership, divination, temptation, jaguars, sorcery, beauty, war and strife. The Aztec culture was present mainly in Central Mexico, with no relationship whatsoever with the real life U'wa or any other indigenous culture from Colombia.
