I feel like if I were an Aztec and came across a mysterious figure covered from head to foot in silver plates and on top of a massive beast, I'd be highly intimidated albeit curious as to what he was. If I saw him off the creature and possibly out of the silver plates, then I'm not so sure that I'd see him as a deity.
