Raijin

The terrible demonic creature Raijin stands before you. His skin is red, while its hair is short, white, and spiky. It’s muscular in the arms, chest, and legs, but has a pot-belly. In each of its hands it holds a heavy mace – one cackles with lightning, the other surrounded in a cacophony of sounds. Behind this creature, are 8 circular, glowing sigils, which all have a triatome symbol upon them. This monster is Raijin, the Demon of Thunder and Lightning.

Raijin is a terrible demon that lives only to wreak havoc and destruction with the power of thunder and lightning. He is usually alone on his many rampages, while riding a storm cloud. However, it is not uncommon to see him teamed up with his brothers, Fujin and Suijin, causing untold amounts of destruction.

Raijin stands 13 ft. tall and weighs 2 tons. He speaks Abyssal, Celestial, Common, Dragon, Giant, and Infernal languages.
