Here Chaac is seen holding his lightning ax and dynamically dancing. In Mayan mythology this is the god of rain. Chaac committed adultery with his brother's wife and as a result he was severely punished and his tears of agony are what give rise to rain. This image hints at the warrior fury of Chaac who mythologically pursues the fleeing sun and moon; He chases them and attacks them with his lightning.

Toads were symbolically associated with death due to their nocturnal habits and to the fact that they inhabit the watery surface of the earth, that is, the threshold of the Underworld. Among the Mayan-speaking communities,since the Preclassic period, anurans were linked with the Underworld, the night, and the primal aqueous medium. Toads possess symbolic connections with telluric fertility, the female gender, uterine gestation, or caves. The body of the anuran was considered a liminal and regenerative pathway connecting the Underworld, the terrestrial, and celestial domains.
