Gods from Aztec Mythology...

TECUCIZTECATL

Also known as TECCIZTECATL, TECUCIZTECAL
TECUCIZTECATL: God of the Moon. But he started off as a lowly God of Snails and Worms.
Hoping to improve his slimey status, he volunteered to jump into the sacrificial flames to become the sun. But he lost his nerve at the last minute and NANAUTZIN beat him to it.
Ashamed, he leapt after her, but most of the fire had turned to ash. An eagle swooped down and carried them both to the sky. The sunny NANAUTZIN shone resplendent, but cowardly TECUCIZTECATL made a very feeble moon. The Gods jeered and threw a rabbit at him.
Although he changed his name to METZLI to avoid embarrassment, he still bears the bruises to this day. Go take a look. Join the dots — or in this case craters — and see if you can spot the rabbit outline.
