Xolotl was a twin to Quetzalcoatl, and was his counterpart. His physical appearance was similar to that of a dog. He was the god of the evening star, rather than the morning star, as was Quetzalcoatl.
According to myth, the 1600 heroes created by Ometecuhtli created humans by sending Xolotl to fetch a bone from the Underworld. They then sprinkled their blood on this bone to create a boy and a girl, who Xolotl raised on thistle milk.
