Tlaloc Pueblan God of Water, Pre-Columbian Art from Chicayan, Ozuluama, Veracruz, Gulf of Mexico, in the National Museum of Anthropology, Chapultepec Park, Mexico City, Mexico. Tlaloc was the Aztec god of rain and fertility. He was greatly feared among the Aztecs who drowned children to appease him. They believed that Tlaloc was responsible for both floods and droughts and that he had been created by the other gods. He is commonly depicted as a goggle-eyed blue being with fangs. Human sacrifices were often made in his honor, usually children. Before the victims were sacrificed their tears were collected in a ceremonial bowl to serve as an offering.
