{{Lore}}
A small but extremely dangerous bird, with lightning elemental abilities. Averaging at 4 feet tall, lightning birds are very light, weighing no more than 20 lbspounds. Making up for half of their height, they stand on tall, slender, jet-black legs with four-toed talons. Their plumage is mostly silver-blue, though the tip of their wing feathers is completely white. Their beaks are also white, as are their eyes. When using its ''Stun peck'' or ''Thundershock'' attacks, the lightning bird's beak and white feather tips radiate with light and crackle with electricity.
Lightning birds live and reproduce naturally in the Mazes, like most other creatures. Their eggs are pearly-white, and lightning bird chicks are completely black in color, save for white eyes and beaks. Dissective analysis revealed no particular organ or chemical element that would explain their ability to generate and use lightning, which has led specialists to suggest that these creatures are simply capable of a limited form of elemental spellcasting, which they use to great effect to ward off enemies and predators.
