In
Aztec mythology,
Tonacatecuhtli ("the being at the center") was a fertility god. He organized the world into land and ocean at the creation of the world.
Ometecuhtli and
Omecihuatl were the creators of the life, but he created them and the planet. He turned
Chantico into a
dog for violating a fast and eating
paprika with roasted
fish. His wife was
Tonacacihuatl.
