The thunderbird is a legendary creature in certain North American indigenous peoples' history and culture. It is considered a supernatural bird of power and strength. The thunderbird's name comes from the common belief that the beating of its enormous wings causes thunder and stirs the wind. It is described as a large bird, capable of creating storms and thundering while it flies.
Clouds are pulled together by its wingbeats, the sound of thunder made by its wings clapping, sheet lightning the light flashing from its eyes when it blinks, and individual lightning bolts made by the glowing snakes that it carries around with it. In masks, it is depicted as multi-colored, with two curling horns, and, often, teeth within its beak.
They are HUGE. I have three that help me when I need to listen to a thunderstorm, they pull it together for me. They have never failed to bring one when I asked. :) This is for a custom conjure of three birds. They are amazing and beautiful and full of power and strength.
