Lightning Bolters

Lightning Bolter

Life form of Green Hell

Large gas bag creature able to float in Air currents. Able to discharge directed electric discharges, but usually not stronger than 40,000 amperes and transfers 15 coulombs of electric charge and 500 megajoules of energy.But lightning bolt discharges  of positive lightning with a magnitude of ten times that much have been measured before, reaching 300 kilo ampere and almost two terawatt with intense channel ionization. Big specimen with  2322 cubic-meters. have been observed. They are bi sexual and have a complex mating ritual, during which they display increased aggressive tendencies towards intruders and also rivals.

Rivals are killed by igniting the Hydrogen used for buoyancy.

Dr. Martha Masters has published several papers on these life forms and believes that the Lightning Bolters are not native to Green Hell and were imported from somewhere else but a long time ago.
