It is the name given to the duende or spirit in the mythological tradition of some Mayan peoples of southeastern Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. The aluxo'ob or aluxes are believed to be small, only approaching the height of the average person's knees, and appearing like miniature people, traditionally dressed in Mayan fashion. Tradition holds that aluxes are generally invisible, but can assume physical form for the purpose of communicating with or frightening humans as well as congregating among them.ultra realistic, evil, --niji 6
