Bestiary Entry
Genus: Mardu Entite Classification: Elemental

Page 1: Observations
"Tales of the people speak oft of the wrathful gods visiting man with lightning, and the remorseful gods weeping the rain that follows. For this did peasants once light fires, sending smoke up to the heavens in hopes it would cause the eyes of the gods to water, irrigating their crops. Yet these fires did naught but incur once more the gods' wrath, and in a rage, they sent rainless lightning down to blast and scorch those who had offended.

It is said these bolts gave birth to the mardu entite."

Page 2: The Entite Pact
''How better to quell the lightning's blind rage, to still the mindless roar of her answering thunder, than by drawing a cold veil of ice around it, cold enough to freeze passion itself? So will the dark clouds part and let shine through a light as brilliant as the sun: the light of electrum.''

Battle
Like the other Entites, its attacks consist of Silencega, Sleepga, and Fear, which reduces one character's MP. Its attack spell is Thundaga. Also, like the other Entites, it is docile, but attacks when provoked or when Magic is used nearby. It should be avoided during the party's first visit to Giza during the wet season, as it is the most powerful Entite offensively.
