Other interpritations call it a being of the night, blotting out the moon and stars to its liking. Yet others consider it a bringer of both great and terrible fortunes: bountiful harvests and great droughts brought upon by its satisfaction. For these reasons, it was commonly given offerings to sate it, including fine meats, gems, gold, silver, rare hides, weapons broken in battle, and blood sacrifices.

Only in recent times has it been given a rather tenuous address. "Metztli," an Aztec deity of the night, the moon, and farmers. It is very likely not the being worshiped as Metztli in Aztec culture, though it takes no issue with whatever name it is presented with.
