The Minion of Huhetotl, &, is the Archeologist quest nemesis.

Strategy

Since he is a demon, wielding a blessed silver saber is very effective. Since he is Large, a dwarvish mattock is also effective. Since he doesn't wield a weapon, applying your bullwhip won't do any good.

Not only is he surrounded by various monsters in his temple and capable of summoning more, but he also does the "teleport away" defense, like demon lords in Gehennom and other Quest nemeses. If you can go toe-to-toe with him (which, by level 14, you should have decent armor AC -15 and one of the weapons listed above) you should engage him, then go stand on the up staircase. Elbereth may also come in handy.

Encyclopedia entry

Huehuetotl, or Huhetotl, which means Old God, was the Aztec
(classical Mesoamerican) god of fire.  He is generally
associated with paternalism and one of the group classed
as the Xiuhtecuhtli complex.  He is known to send his
minions to wreak havoc upon ordinary humans.
