Storm Warning Entity

"....repeated lightning strikes in...sightings of a huge, bird-like...."

- What appears to be a cut-off news report on the creature’s sightings

The Storm Warning Entity, (also known as the Water Tower Stander) is a creature made by artist Trevor Henderson.

Appearance
The Creature depicted in the image is a tall, dark humanoid creature that appears to be standing on a water tower, observing. It has long arms that have hands ending in clawed fingers and on the side of its body are large, bat-like wings, which appear to be damaged with tears. It’s legs appear to be shorter than it’s arms due to it having a long torso.

It has yellow glowing eyes and the rest of it’s facial features are not visible. According to the caption, it is bird-like in appearance, which would explain the wings and lack of ears and nose. The creature’s entire body is covered with black skin/fur/feathers.

Comparing it to the size of the water tower it is standing on, we can estimate the creature to be about 20 Feet or 6.09 Meters, and has an estimated wingspan of about 23 Feet or 7.01 Meters.

Behavior and Origins
The creature, as shown through the caption and the image, seems to be a malevolent and intelligent being. It is currently unknown which group of creatures this entity belongs in, if any.

Giants Theory
However, due to the creature’s nature of appear during storms and it’s considerably large size, we that it is a member of The Giants, the same Giants that came to Earth by the summoning of a second Moon. If this is the case, it would be most likely a non-collection Giant, meaning that it only kills unworthy humans and causes destruction instead of ascending the worthy, however, it may still be able to ascend nice humans by flying them into the Heavens. If it is a member of The Giants, it is very likely to be an Element Giant, like Fire Giant.

Universe Theory
A more likely answer is that it is not a member of The Giants. This is backed up by the fact that it, and The Giants are listed separately in Trevor’s Canon Creatures List, suggesting that they are not related. It is more likely to be related to the Mothman, as it has long bat-like wings and glowing eyes much like the aforementioned cryptid, though Mothman himself is not actually listed as a canon creature.

Abilities
Aside form it’s massive size and sharp, deadly claws, it is also implied that the creature has some form of control over lightning and thunder strikes, as it directs the lightning to it’s feet and may also absorb energy from it. The caption of the image states that there were multiple reports of lightning strikes in the area it was spotted in. It is also unknown if it has full control of where it happens, or if the strikes just happen when it is around.

It’s size may not be as large and destructive as other monsters, however it can use this to it’s advantage, letting it fit into smaller spaces, as well as using it’s wing to fly swiftly without wight issues. It’s large eyes may also allow it to have superhuman vision, able to see in different modes of light. All of these abilities combined allows it to utilize it’s powerful lightning strike manifestations more precisely, making it an extremely dangerous creature, possibly even more than the other Giants.
