Knowledge about Olmec culture is still incomplete, but it is known that religion was a central part of the Olmec's lives. There were many gods, all of which were supernatural in nature, their images combining animal and human features. Examples of Olmec gods include a dragon, a bird monster, a were-jaguar, a feathered serpent, and a shark monster.
