恰克Chacs 外觀仿若一頭纖細苗條的美洲豹。她們通常四肢着地，但也可能採取雙足行進的姿勢——在這種情況下，她們看上去很像是 美洲豹獸化人werejaguars。
Chacs look much like slender jaguars. They generally travel on all fours, but they may assume a bipedal stance as well where upon they look much like werejaguars.
這些精魂幫助操縱着 馬茲特克大陸Maztica 的降雨。她們從自己高懸於崇山中的洞穴中，將雨露送到村莊中去。那些罕見有緣一睹恰克的人將注意到淚水不斷從她們的臉頰流淌而下。這並非是緣由任何悲傷的情緒，而是這種生物水棲親和力的表現。
These spirits help control the rains in Maztica. From their cave lairs high in the mountains, they send rain out to the countryside. Those rare people who see a chac will observe tears trickling incessantly down its cheeks. This is not from any kind of sadness, but rather a sign of the creature's aquatic affinities.
取決於棲息之地，恰克們都與某種特定顏色相關聯。那些七夕在馬茲特克大陸北部的恰克與藍色相關，棲息於東部的則是黑色，南部為紅色，西部為黃色，中部為綠色。恰克雙眸均為對應的顏色，當她們變形為氣態時，霧氣也將被染成對應顏色。因此，馬茲特克南部的恰克的眼睛是紅色的，霧氣也是紅色的。
Chacs are associated with a certain color, depending on where they live. Those in northern Maztica are associated with blue, those in the east with black, those in the south with red, and those in the west with yellow. Chacs in central Maztica are associated with green. A chac's eyes are of the appropriate color, and when one assumes gaseous form the mist is tinted with that same color. Thus, a chac in southern Maztica has red eyes, and its mist is reddish.
戰鬥COMBAT：
恰克總是避戰，只有在受到威脅、避無可避時方才戰鬥。她們擁有魔法力量，如果需要，她們會用這些力量保護自己。恰克可如5級 阿祖爾Azul 祭司般施法，但只能施展來來自元素領域於水相關的法術。此外，每周1次，她們還可施展 召喚氣象weather summoning，每日4次，氣化形態assume gaseous form（如同使用了一劑對應藥水）。
Chacs always seek to avoid combat, fighting only if they are threatened and no escape is possible. They possess magical abilities which they will use to protect themselves if need be. A chac can cast spells as if it were a 5th level priest of Azul, but can cast only water-related spells from the elemental sphere. In addition, they can cast weather summoning once per seek, and assume gaseous form (as per the potion) four times per day.
棲息地／社會Habitat/Society：
這些生物天性平和非暴力，她們喜歡使用自己的魔法力量來控制巢穴附近的天氣。雖然她們就像阿祖爾祭司那樣使用法術，但其中只有約一半事實上是 雨露的給予者與呼吸的收受者Giver of Rain and Taker of Breath 的祭司。那些直接為阿祖爾服務的個體有邪惡傾向，其中一些會與 雨龍rain dragons（或者說 特拉洛科特爾tlalocoatl）共享巢穴。大多數時候當地土著可以將食物作為禮物安撫恰克，但該種族的邪惡個體（尤其是那些與特拉洛科特爾同棲的）通常為要求某種形式的犧牲。
These creatures are nonviolent by nature, preferring to use their magical powers to govern the weather near their lairs. Though they use spells as if they were priests of Azul, only half are actually servants of the Giver of Rain and Taker of Breath. Those that serve Azul directly have evil tendencies, and some of these share lairs with rain dragons, or tlalocoatl. Most chacs may be appeased by local natives through gifts of food, while evil members of their race, especially those living with tlalocoatls, often demand a sacrifice of some sort.
如果遇到的恰克超過一隻，則通常為一個家庭團體；其中有一位男性、一位女性，以及1~2個後代（各個性別概率相同）。恰克有自己精心設計的交配儀式，包括在氣化形態下的精華融合。一年後，小恰克將誕生，附近所有恰克都會參與慶祝，她們將聚集在一起，產生一場傾盆暴雨。
If more than one chac is encountered, it will usually be a family group; with one male, one female, and one or two offspring (equal chance of either sex). Chacs have an elaborate mating ritual, involving merging essences while in gaseous form. The birth of a baby chac takes place a year later, and is often celebrated by all nearby chacs, who gather and produce a tremendous rainstorm.
恰克的壽命往往很長，有些能夠達到100歲以上。年幼的恰克將與父母呆在一起直到成熟（大約需要5年）。恰克的死亡通常伴隨着1-4周的乾旱，儘管有些乾旱的持續時間將更長，或是受到特拉洛科特爾的影響。
Chacs tend to live long lives, some reaching ages of 100 years or more. A young chac stays with its parents until it reaches maturity (about five years). The death of a chac is generally followed by a drought of 1-4 weeks in length while nearby chacs are mourning, though some droughts last longer or are influenced by tlalocoatls.
恰克異常的羞怯和隱蔽，幾乎總是會避免與智慧生物直接接觸。她們有太多傳說講述了被人類俘虜的恰克因拒絕按照俘虜者的想法產生雨水，而受到了傷害。如果有恰克被抓，而其他恰克發現了罪犯的身份，她們就會聯合彼此的力量對付罪犯，製造洪澇或乾旱，直至罪犯釋放囚犯、為他們的罪行贖罪。
Chacs are very shy and reclusive, and almost always avoid direct contact with intelligent humanoid life. Too many of their legends tell of chacs being captured by humans and harmed if they refused to produce rain in accordance with the whims of their captors. If a chac is captured, and other chacs find the identities of the offenders, they bring their combined powers to bear on the perpetrators, causing flooding or drought until the offenders release the prisoner and atone for their actions.
生態學ECOLOGY：
恰克吃多種食物，包括肉類和可可豆，但水是她們的主要營養來源。
Chacs eat a combination of things, including meat and cocoa beans, but water is their main source of nourishment.
恰克的巢穴中總是囤積着100~1000顆可可豆，她們用這些可可豆生產了一種巧克力飲料，並對這其非常痴迷。她們還會收集藝術品，特別是翡翠和綠松石雕，但很少會收集黃金或其它貴金屬。在一座典型的恰克巢穴中包含有價值約200~800金粉筆的藝術品。
Chacs always have a hoard of 100-1000 cocoa beans in their lair, and they use the beans to produce a chocolate drink of which they are very fond. Chacs also collect art objects, especially carved jade and turquoise, but rarely of gold or other metal. A typical chac lair contains art pieces worth 200-800 gq.
恰克沒有天敵，並與所在區域中的多數居民相處融洽。然而雨龍有時會攻擊恰克以獲得其體內的水分。也有少數發現了恰克的人類有時候會嘗試俘虜她，以為這樣就能奪取雨水的控制權。
Chacs have no natural enemies, and they get along with most denizens of their areas. However, a rain dragon will sometimes attack a chac to gain the moisture in its body. The rare humans who find chacs will sometimes seek to capture it, thinking to thus gain control over the rains.
恰克的皮膚可以作為 氣化形態藥水potions of gaseous form 或 水下呼吸藥水potions of sweetwater 的材料，而她們的爪子對某些利爪魔法很有用。
Chac skin may be used as a material component for potions of gaseous form or sweetwater, while their claws are useful for some forms of hishna magic.
