Dragon of Tláloc's Storm

The myth

Tláloc, god of rain and earth, kept water in great jars inside the mountains. The tlaloque, his small helpers, filled the vessels and watered the world; when they smashed the jars with sticks, the crash was thunder and the shards were lightning. From one jar came the good rain that grows maize; from others came frost, drought and blight. That is why Tláloc was both loved and feared. This dragon is the game’s reading of the lightning that escapes the jars.

Why it has this power

A Level 5 Uncommon with 1800 ATK and 1500 DEF: the strength of a storm. Thunder is the lightning from the broken jars; Wisp recalls the sudden light in the sky and Leviathan the waters that come crashing down. It hits hard and fast, like a summer downpour over the Valley of Mexico.

Did you know

In the Legend of the Suns, the third sun belonged to Tláloc and ended in a rain of fire.
