"Thunderbird Dance"
The Thunderbird is a "mythical" creature common to Native American religion. Its name comes from that supposition that the beating of its enormous wings causes thunder and stirs the wind.
It is described as being two canoe-lengths from wingtip to wingtip, and it creates storms as it flies- clouds are pulled together by its wingbeats, the sound of thunder is its wings clapping, sheet lightning is the light flashing from its eyes when it blinks, and individual lightning bolts are glowing snakes that it carries with it. In masks, it is depicted as many-colored, with two curling horns, and sometimes with teeth within its beak.
It is said to be intelligent, powerful, and wrathful. All agree that you should go out of your way to keep from getting them angry.
