Zocho was one of the Guardians of the Four Winds, the Fortune of the South Wind, a wind generally well regarded because it heralded the coming of the summer. Zocho was somewhat feared because the summer winds ouldn also bring fierce summer storms. The Crab and to a lesser extent the Scorpion viewed Zocho with suspicion and even distrust, because strong winds from the south sometimes brought the evil stink of the Shadowlands.
