CHAC XIB CHAC
Maya Wind God
Also known as Gi
Venus with a hint of shark
One of the Palenque Triad of Maya gods designated with Roman numerals, in this case i. He’s a representation of Venus and something of a Shark God — at least he has a shark’s tooth but that could mean anything. Did he jump the shark?
A close personal friend of Chac, he’s a powerful deity who can create or destroy. Hurricanes and gusts of wind are a particular specialty.
Represented as a somewhat blank-faced entity with a single shark’s tooth, Chac Xib Chac is not to be trifled with. He’s not averse to a bit of blood-letting now and again. Don’t let him near your blood.
