With his great tusks and goggle eyes,
Tlaloc's appearance is quite impressive.
He wears all black but for a garland of white flowers.

Tlaloc has four pitchers of water:
one filled with good water to make crops grow properly,
one filled with water that contain's spiders' eggs and webs and causes blight,
one filled with water that turns to frost,
and one with water that rots all fruit.

If pressed hard in battle, Tlaloc will summon a bolt of lightning,
and he will fight with this against all comers.
The bolt of lightning will do 40 points of damage to all those in armor, 30 points of damage to all those wearing clothes, and 20 points of damage to all naked flesh it hits.
He uses the lightning bolt as if it were a weapon instead of a spell.

At each full moon,
a priest of Tlaloc sacrifices a child or baby to Tlaloc.
Once a year, there is a great festival held in his honor.
Numerous babies are bought or taken from the populace.
These babies are sacrificed to Tlaloc,
after which the priests cook and eat them.
If the babies cry during the sacrifice,
this is taken as a good sign that rain will be abundant during the coming year.

If the proper rituals and sacrifices have been followed to the letter,
Tlaloc will usually grant his worshipers the rain they need.
However, if he thinks his requirements have no been met,
the people will be punished.
