Origins[]
The Raijū is a creature with origins in Japanese Mythology. In myth, the Raijū is the pet and companion of Raijin, the kami of lightning and thunder.
Appearance[]
The Raijū's appearance varies from story to story, but all agree that it is in the form of a beast made of lightning. One form is that of a blue and white wolf wrapped in coils of lightning. To travel around, it turns into ball lightning. Their cries sound like thunder.
Behavior[]
Raijū are normally placid beasts. This changes when a thunderstom arrives. The Raijū is put into a frenzy, jumping from tree to building to field, leaving scorch marks with its claws. When the frenzied Raijū spots a human sleeping, it dig into the sleeper's navel to rest. Because of this, many superstitious Japanese people still sleep on their stomachs during storms.
Abilities[]
The Raijū seems to have the ability to shapeshift, given its many contradictory appearances. The Raijū can also control lightning.
