Huitzil (Phobos in Japan) is a character in the Darkstalkers fighting game series.

Huitzil is one of many robots created by Pyron who came to Earth 65 million years ago. At the time of their creation, the Huitzil robots were given orders to destroy all life on the planet. After destroying the dinosaurs, they went deep underground. Huitzil had gone into a long sleep and had not been functioning since. Around 520 AD, they were found by the Mayans and were used for many purposes.

Later they were put into the Teotihuacán ruins and went into another long sleep. When their creator, Pyron, came back to Earth, one of the robots awakened again and prepared to complete its given orders once again. Later, due to a malfunction, Huitzil carried out new orders: to protect a young boy named Cecil.

• In the Night Warriors anime, their role is unchanged. However, the malfunctioning unit and Cecil never appear.
• In the American cartoon, Huitzil appears only once (in a dark blue alternate color rather than his normal gold), and was built by the Aztecs to be a guardian of their land. He is reactivated by the fighting between the Darkstalkers and kidnaps Pyron, intent on sacrificing him to the Aztec gods. This forces the good and evil Darkstalkers to team up to fight Huitzil, as apparently Pyron being away from his ship for too long will cause it to blow up, destroying the Earth. Huitzil was destroyed and Pyron rescued, but at the end of the episode was seen pulling himself back together.
• In the original anime the Huitzil are all destroyed except one giant one remains at the end broken up in space. Just before the credits roll it looks down at earth and see Anita smiling, and (In a rare show of emotion) decides that the decision to eliminate all life was premature and will gather more data to make it's final decision.
• Huitzil is 7 ft., 3 in. (222cm) tall and weighs 2.27 tons.
• Huitzil resembles the Dogu idols left by the Jomon people, his super-deformed version is one of them
• Huitzil is the Nahuatl word for hummingbird, and likely a shortened version of Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war.
• A running gag throughout the series is when Huitzil selects the wrong weapon and dropping a large chunk of ice. He then proceeds to try to rip his head out in confusion.
• Phobos (his Japanese name) is the Greek word for "fear," and is one of the moons around Mars.
• Huitzil appears in Pocket fighters as a combination jukebox/flower pot in Ken's background. Felicia is also able to turn into Huitzil and use his spiked ball attack.
• Huitzils appear in Namco x Capcom as enemies.
• In SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium, Huitzils appear in B.B. Hood special attack.
