Thunderbugs are hostile creatures that use lightning based attacks. They are very common on the island of Khenarthi's Roost. These solitary creatures are dangerous, but they do also have uses on the moon-sugar plantations; namely, controlling rats and other pests.
Some thunderbugs are capable of not only shooting lightning from themselves, but also summoning it from the sky.
