Storm Elemental

A fusion of lightning and howling wind that calls down thunder with every strike.

The Storm Elemental is what happens when lightning strikes a tornado and both refuse to die. It crackles with electric charge, and the air around it smells of ozone and rain. Its chain lightning does not discriminate between enemies -- or allies standing too close together.
