Characteristics

182 Thunder Gleeok	Description This three-headed monster first appeared after the Upheaval. Fighting it alone is inadvisable, as its three heads will attack you all at once. When someone sets foot upon its turf, this beast will unleash a salvo of lightning strikes, not letting up until the intruder is reduced to a pile of ashes.
	Common Locations Hyrule Field Faron Grasslands
Recoverable Materials Gleeok Thunder Horn Gleeok Wing Gleeok Guts

Thunder Gleeoks are three-headed, winged Gleeoks. They are massive creatures, towering well above Link and even dwarfing other large enemies such as Molduga. Electrified horns grow out of the top of their heads, and each head bears a single eyeball.

Each head can shoot electric spheres and lightning beams, both individually and all at once. Their large wings allow them to hover above the ground; when at low health, they fly very high and unleash lightning strikes, which leave behind updrafts Link can use to reach it in the air. While on the ground, they will flap their wings to create strong winds that keep Link from approaching, and may sometimes attack with their tails if Link gets too close. In order to stun them long enough to attack, Link must shoot all three of their heads within a short period of time. When attacking, they produce a thunderstorm around their location, which can cause Link to be struck by lightning if metal equipment is being used. This Thunderstorm dissipates for the duration of their being successfully stunned.

Some kind of three-headed beast that breathes lightning at you if you get close. Sounds like a bad time to me, even if I had lightning-proof gear.
