Introducing our first Amphithere! The Blitz Striker.

The Blitz Striker is a lightning fast flier, but slow on the ground. It normally hunts smaller prey which it stuns with it's lightning attack and then swallows the incapacitated prey alive. It's special ability is an electric pulse that is charged and then released in a shock-wave that stuns all nearby targets. The stun duration is based on the electricity resistance of the targets. Blitz Strikers are inherently immune to electricity, even lightning strikes do not phase them.
