 The gods, being somewhat class conscious, were angry that rich and proud Tecciztecatl had to follow humble Nanahuatzin, threw a rabbit at Tecciztecatl leaving an imprint of the rabbit's shape and dimming Tecciztecatl's brightness to the point where he could only be seen at night.In some depictions, Tecciztecatl carried a large, white seashell on his back, "tēucciztli" in Nahuatl, representing the Moon itself; in others he had butterfly wings.He was a son of Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue.
