The Aztec deity known as Tlaloc is regarded as the god of rain, water, and agriculture. He was also a fearsome and powerful deity who frequently caused severe droughts and storms to express his displeasure. He was regarded as a benevolent deity who provided much-needed nourishment, but he was also an unpredictable and cruel one who sent storms, lightning and drought.

In the Aztec Creation myth, Tlaloc was the ruler of the 3rd Sun. He was also linked to the deer known as Mzatl, and he was regarded as one of the most significant figures in the Lord of the Night and the Lords of the Day. The origins of the god are probably much earlier as he shares many similarities with the Olmec God IV and the Mayan God B or Chac. 

Tlaloc was created during the creation phase after Huitzilpochtli and Quetzalcoatl dismembered a reptilian creature known as Cipactli. He was often associated with various weather conditions such as storms, floods, ice, and rain.
