NAME: Raiju “Thunder beast”

DESCRIPTION
A legendary creature with a body composed of lightning and may be in the
shape of a cat, fox, weasel, or wolf. The form of a white and blue wolf (or even
a wolf wrapped in lightning) is also common. It may also fly about as a ball of
lightning (in fact, the creature may be an attempt to explain the phenomenon of
lightning). Its cry sounds like thunder. Raiju is the companion of Raijin, the
Shinto god of lightning. While the beast is generally calm and harmless, during
thunderstorms, it becomes agitated and leaps about in trees, fields, and even
buildings. Another of Raiju's peculiar behaviors is sleeping in human navels.
This prompts Raiden to shoot lightning arrows at Raiju to wake the creature up,
and thus harms the person in whose belly the demon is resting. Other legends Points
say that Raiju will only hide in the navels of people who sleep outdoors.
