The provided sources do not include a cosmogonic or biographical origin tale for Atlaua. Within the material given, Atlaua appears as a named divine figure integrated into Aztec religious practice—a water-associated god invoked in specific circumstances (notably when there were deaths in water) and the focus of temple worship—rather than as a deity whose birth or creation story is attested in these citations.
The supplied materials contain no primary description of Atlaua's physical, iconographic, or anthropomorphic appearance. No details of costume, attributes, or visual representations are documented in the provided sources.
In the sources cited, Atlaua is described as a water god who is also characterized as a fisherman and an archer. He is recorded as a focus of worship at at least four ancient Aztec temples (one account claiming the tallest was supposedly over 200 feet tall) and was prayed to by the Aztecs in instances of deaths in water — for example, during Hernando Cortés's conquest when accounts say the lake was 'floating with heads and corpses.' Beyond these associations, the provided material does not supply further claims about magical powers, cosmological jurisdiction, or specific functional rituals.
Ahuizotl
Ahuizotl is identified in the provided sources as an Aztec mythological creature; the same lexical form also names an historical Aztec emperor (Ahuitzotl). The available materials for this entry are limited to modern reference pages and a small set of artistic and popular-culture uses of the name, and do not contain primary indigenous mythic accounts or detailed ethnographic descriptions.
Ilamatecuhtli
Ilamatecuhtli (attested also as Citlāllīcuē and Citlālinīcuē) is identified in the supplied sources as a creator goddess within Aztec mythology. The provided excerpts give no further mythic narrative, iconography, or ritual context.
Atlantia
Atlantia is not a single folkloric supernatural being in the provided sources but a modern proper name applied to multiple, independent referents — including a brief classical name-form (Atlanteia/Atlantia) listed as a Hamadryad in Greek mythic genealogies, a contemporary YA novel's underwater city, names of vessels in science-fiction media, a Society for Creative Anachronism regional designation, and a biological genus entry in a taxonomic database. The sources do not present a unified mythic ontology or associated rituals for an entity called 'Atlantia.'
Atlantica
Atlantica is a scientific reconstruction of an ancient Proterozoic continental landmass that formed about 2.0 billion years ago from cratons now in West Africa and eastern South America; the name is also attested as a biological genus label and as a modern musical track title in the provided sources. The supplied materials contain no treatment of Atlantica as a supernatural or folkloric being.
Atlantid
A non‑folkloric label used in multiple modern contexts: an obsolete anthropological racial subtype (North‑Atlantid/Paleo Atlantid), a speculative/alternate‑history ethnonym, and a contemporary brand/name in projects, fiction, and scientific terminology. No traditional supernatural being called 'Atlantid' is attested in the supplied sources.
Atlas
Atlas is a Titan of ancient Greek myth condemned after the Titanomachy to stand at the western edge of the world and hold up the sky on his shoulders. He is both a punished cosmic agent who bears the heavens and an eponymous figure linked to geographic features (the Atlas Mountains) and to traditions of celestial knowledge such as the invention of the celestial sphere.
Atlasodon
No folkloric or supernatural tradition for an entity named "Atlasodon" is present in the supplied sources. The materials provided are scientific and taxonomic references relating to extinct mammals and higher-level mammalian groups; they do not describe a mythic being, its appearance, powers, rituals, or cultural role.
