Lore
Tlaltecuhtli is the monstrous earth goddess in Aztec mythology, a toad-like being with mouths at every joint, whose dismembered body was used by the gods to form the land and mountains. In creation myths, she was torn apart to create the world, but her insatiable hunger for hearts and blood persisted, requiring human sacrifice to keep the earth stable. She embodies the violent origins of creation and the ongoing need for blood offerings to sustain life, symbolizing the earth's fertility and its demand for nourishment in Aztec cosmology.
