Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil (also known by the appellation "18-Rabbit" or "Eighteen Rabbit"), was a ruler of the powerful Maya civilization polity associated with the site of Copán (Classic Maya name: Xukpi) from January 2, 695, to 738. Little is known of Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil himself but on May 3, 738, Xukpi, a regional power at the time, suffered a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the polity located at Quiriguá, when Uaxaclajuun was beheaded at the behest of Quiriguá's ruler, Cauac Sky. Following this defeat Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil was replaced by a new ruler, named K'ak' Joplaj Chan K'awiil ("Smoke Monkey").
