Guayota

Guayota, in Guanche mythology of Tenerife (the Canary Islands), was the principal malignant deity and Achamán's adversary.According to Guanche legend, Guayota lived inside the Teide volcano, one of the gateways to the underworld.According to legend, Guayota kidnapped Magec (the sun) and shut it up in Teide, plunging the world into darkness.Humans prayed to Achamán who saved Magec and instead locked Guayota up in Teide.[1] Currently, like other aboriginal gods, Guayota remains a typical Canary creature folklore.
Mount Teide on Tenerife, according to mythology, was the home of Guayota.
