Lei-Kung

Lei-Kung has few shrines as he instills fear more than adoration. He is ugly, with wings and claws and carries drums, a hammer and a chisel. He uses the chisel as a thunderbolt against wicked humans.

Lei-Kung seeks out undiscovered crimes and punishes the wrongdoers.

He welcomes information from humans regarding these hidden wrongs. People would turn to him when they wanted to inform against their neighbours.

Lei-Kung does not have any control over the lightning, only thunder.
