Seidenki

A quadruped monster that looks to be a cross of a squirrel and a snake with greyish blue scales covering its body with bushy thick blue and white fur along its back. Long quils run along this monster's back that help aid its body to generate static electricity along with the use of chakra. The Seidenki measures out to thirteen feet in length and are found almost exclusively in the land of lightning, water and iron as they prefer high altitude climates or thick, dense forests with a canopy. These large reptiles can take flight in the air with a skin membrane connected from their four legs, gliding much like a flying squirrel.These elusive creatures are constantly seen with electricity coursing through their fur, they are able to control this lightning with chakra flow and zap their prey while they're perfectly capable of running them down as well. The Seidenki are nocturnal and hunt near dusk and dawn, using their natural eyesight to see in the dark.

Seidenki are carnivores and are proud creatures, refusing to touch carrion and instead prefer fresh prey. The Seidenki are not hostile initially but will attack if they feel threatened such as a human being in a place they can reach. In some areas of Lightning Country, this creature has been tamed for a peculiar trait of their's of attracting lightning, being living lightning rods. Others have tamed the creature to act as guard animals and Seidenki remain loyal long as they're given ample food. Hunters prize these monsters for their pelts for its conductivity or immunity to lightning for weapons and armor. Seidenki do not fear humans but will avoid them given a chance, preferring to always stay high off the ground.

## Techniques

### Basic Static Combat | Rank E-S | Simple

A Seidenki's main form of attacking is unusual in that they will use their entire body as a weapon with electricity flowing through their fur and small quills. Every attack from a Seidenki will afflict tiered Paralysis and leave static electricity on the victim. Getting Drenched by Water techniques will disable this static form. These attacks are considered Lightning Elemental.

### Basic Lightning Combat | Rank E-S | Simple-Complex

A Seidenki's alternate means of combat. When Static is not up, the Seidenki will resort to attacking with swift swipes of their claws to inflict bleed. Both their bites and claw attacks are constantly infused with the Lightning Element, however the Seidenki can choose to use their attacks as Simple when the needs arises. The attacking of opponents with the complex variant of their attacks causes the target to have tiered burns applied through electrical current.

### Lightning Attuned | Rank E-S | Spiritual

A Seidenki is a creature in tune with lightning, able to conjure up electrical attacks with ease. They're able to make use of Lightning, Water and Storm release techniques up to S-Rank with their fur generating the electrical chakra needed.

### Electrical Physiology | Rank E-S+ | Spiritual

The Seidenki is constantly electrified as their body has long quills that help it keep a constant flow of chakra. The only time when the electricity doesn't cover their body is when they swim, drenched or are sleeping. Anything attacking the Seidenki while it is aware will be met with a a reactive defense of electricity and be forced away. This reactive defense is a supplementary activation and is considered an overwhelming defense but can only occur once a every three posts for the Seidenki. Being drenched disables this ability.

### Gliding | Rank X | Passive

A Seidenki can glide like a flying squirrel, leaping up into the air and catching a draft to sail across the air. This needs no activation to perform.

### Shock Immunity | Rank X | Passive

A Seidenki is immune to Lightning techniques and immune to the Paralysis status. However application of the drench status will remove this immunity for one post.
