Itzcoatl is an infantry hero available in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. He is based on the fourth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1427/1428 to 1440, the period when the Mexica rebelled against the Tepanecs and laid the foundations for the eventual Aztec Empire. As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate health.
Before the Definitive Edition, Itzcoatl looked identical to the Jaguar Warrior. Since its release, he has a unique model, resembling a real-life high ranking Jaguar Warrior wearing a cuacalalatli (decorated hardwood helmet) and pฤmitl (banner/flag). Like other infantry, Itzcoatl is affected by all upgrades that affect infantry as well as any other bonuses that affect them.
His shield pattern is the civilization icon of the Aztecs.

Trivia[]
- While the icon depicts the unit with a shield and carrying the macuahuitl in the left hand, the in-game unit has no shield and carries the macuahuitl in the right hand.
