A late name for an active god of the Mochica (a pre-Inca civilization). He ranged beneath the throne of the almost totally indifferent and supreme being and creator deity, a nameless sky-god whose throne was usually situated on the top of a high mountain. Ai Apaec may have been the son of the mountain god, and shared the feline mouth of the creator deity. He is usually portrayed wearing a jaguar headdress and snake-head earrings.
