Description
The Thunderer Samurai, Shogun of Lightning; Raijin.

First of deceased kaiju in Wrath, Raijin was my most favorite of the bunch. Mentioned plenty of times before but I had in mind when designing him to be the “Eastern Counterpart” to Azaka Tonnerre. With Azaka having the common theropod “saurian” body type, Raijin was to be like that of a ceratopsian. Because in any media involving these two animals are seen as opposites and usually go head to head. Other elements were giving him an more upright body to imitate a draconic ungulate such as with the legendary Qilin/Kirin. Of course the was some elements of samurai armor added to make him look like a walking tank. Unfortunately this warrior met his end in glorious battle with the Earth Beast, Tu Di Gong. Fret not for their battle was a spectacle and ended with the Lightning Qilin claiming the rights as the only creature to seriously injure Gong.
