Chac, the Rain god

Another very common image at Chichen Itza is that of Chac. This deity is generally recognized as the rain god. This is a two dimensional representation. There are many more three dimensional representations on the corners of buildings. In the 70's there was a motion picture called Chac, the dialogue was entirely in Tzotzil with English subtitles. I enjoyed it, but it didn't have 'legs'.
