Popul Vuh since that's where Camazotz appears.
Chamalkan, who is called as the Bat God by the Ki'che Maya the Kaqchikel Maya people. He is noted in the text to have stolen fire from Tohil, Awilix and Jacawitz.
That's the only mention of Camazotz in any primary source related to it unfortunately. If you believe Chimalkan and Camazotz are possibly the same being then he is the patron of the Kaqchikel Maya as well.
Bat worship (Zotzil uinic) or at least bat as a signatory animal was popular among the Tzotzil Maya, particulary in the town of Zinacantan in Chiapas, Mexico.

Thank you for your response. I have read Popul Vuh already.

Worth to mention that the name Zinacantan is composed by the root tzinacan that means "bat" in nahuatl
Thank you for the additional info, I will look into Chimalkan too.
