Thunderbird

These aren’t the actual, mythical thunderbirds, the animikii. Those, like naagloshii, have to live on tribal lands in the American Southwest. To clarify on the difference- Naagloshii is to skinwalker as animikii is to thunderbird. That being said, the vast majority of them are centuries old. A few still care to look like Native Americans, but being shape-shifters, they generally look however they care to look. They draw their true power from storms, but are formidable even without them, capable of drawing on the elements of a storm and weather. They have a long, bitter feud with the skinwalkers, and members of both groups will eagerly kill each other on sight. The thunderbirds are perfectly capable of holding their own against the demons of the First World, attacking with lightning bolts to shame Tesla, massive sonic booms, and torrential rains. They can also shift to the form of a Haast’s Eagle, enhanced by their tempestuous (ha ha) power.
