Tlaloc (Intermediate God)
Tlaloc, “he who makes things grow”, is the god of rain and moisture, who presided over the Third Sun. He is a cruel deity who delights in the torture of helpless innocents. Given his evil nature, it seems strange that Tlaloc has created Tlalocan, a gay paradise reserved for the victims of death associated with water (such as drowning or being broken on the rocks by a great wave).
Tlaloc makes his home on the tops of the highest mountains, and resembles a man with a snake-like head, save that he has tusk-like teeth and white rings around his eyes.
He is married to Chalchihuitlicue.
Roleplaying Tips
Tlaloc has four pitchers of water which he may pour over areas of the Prime Material Plane as indications of his mood.
He uses the first pitcher, which contains good water, only when his priests have performed their rites with the proper zeal.
The other three he uses to express his displeasure:
The second pitcher contains water filled with spider eggs and webs that bring blight.
The third pitcher with water that turns to frost.
The fourth pitcher with water that causes fruit to rot.
Other omens of Tlaloc’s displeasure include too little or too much rain, drought, and noods.
