Guayota

Guayota (in the language of the islanders Amazigh, Wa - yewta "Destroyer") - in the mythology of Guanches, the indigenous people of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), was the main deity of evil, the devil and the eternal opponent of Achamán (the supreme god in the Guanqian pantheon). Guayota was portrayed as a black dog (symbol of evil) in the company of demons, also in the form of black dogs, called Tibicenas. Guayot Guam was inhabited by volcanoes, but mainly the Echeide volcano (El Teide), which was recognized as one of the gateways to hell. The term "Guayota" may be derived from Wa-yewta ("Parson"), directly associated with volcanic activity. Mythology

According to legend, Guayot took the god Magec (god of light and sun) and imprisoned him inside the Teide volcano, plunging the world into the dark. The Guanches asked for the grace of their supreme god Achamán, who, after fierce battle, defeated Guayot and freed Magec from Teide's interior. Since then, Guayota has remained locked in the volcano, and he has not gotten out of it, and Achamán has blocked the exit with a stopper named Loaf of Bread (whitish cone, crowning Teide). In many volcanic tunnels, the remains of Guayot's victims were found to calm the anger of the devil. Legend of Guayot has similar characteristics to other evil volcano gods, as was the Hawaiian goddess Pele, who lived in the Kīlauea volcano and was recognized by Hawaii native for responsible eruption of the volcano.
