Tips & Tricks
- They might not hit very hard individually, but a full pack of raiju can pile tons of electricity damage on you very quickly. Don't hesitate about quaffing a potion of resistance if you find yourself surrounded with no other source of rElec.
- The terrain of the Abyss changes constantly, as do the positions of the bolting raiju, making movement decisions somewhat arbitrary. If possible, however, stand in such a way that the raiju won't be getting multizaps on you.
- Raiju are one of the few edible enemies in the Abyss.
Trivia
Raijū, or "lightning beast," is a legendary creature from Japanese mythology which serves Raijin, Shinto god of lightning. Capable of assuming the shape of a cat, fox, weasel, wolf, or ball of lightning, it is generally tame, but dashes about during storms wreaking havoc on anything it touches.
History
Raiju were added in 0.14.
