Retra "The Cracker of Mountains"
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Quasi-Elemental_Plane_of_Lightning
Known for its appearing as a large elegant white wolf with lighting streaming by giving an almost celestial aftershock. Though for those who have seen the creature as it slammed its head into the mountain that stands at the center of its territory, would know the truth. The large badger like creature appears with long stranges of brown and white fur that appear to be as if the creature was elderly.

From this point on Retra who had learned to hate mountains and lairs as they made it easier for creatures to hide from it, began slamming its bodies full force into anything that it considered a suitable lair. For years the creature would slam and harden its body destroying the mountains and hills alike. It is said that Retra even became faster as it learned to throw its entire momentum behind its attacks. From then on, the creature would set its lair in the remaining mountain that it would hollow out into a sort of race track and launching ramps, beware for the flying lighting badger comes for you.Signed Qothfuntim "The Paranoid Horn" scholar of the Collective of Pryus

Known to be fidgity and aggressive, the creature known as Retra "The Cracker of Mountains" barely seems interested in any discussion to those within its territory. Seemingly uninterested in any creature that stays out of its way, the Retra only seems to be interested in revenge against dragons and any creatures willing to stand in its way when running.Classes

Though the creature is noted to have a base running speed of nearly five hundred feet per six seconds. It seems almost unable to stop or turn once the creature gets its natural momentum up. Thus it should be noted that the reason the creatures body has grown so hard is that it uses hills, buildings and anything it can to stop its greatest momentum when it sees its pray. Giving it a tough outer skin, the creature seems though innately unintelligent and driven by natural animal instinct.Unique Spells

The nickname was said to have been given after it lost a fight with two now dead dragons, and later decided to spite them by destroying all suitable lairs in its territory. Except for the last, where it makes its home for the few times the creature sleeps. Retra is truly one of the few mysteries of the world, a creature that some believe was a toth experiment while others believe it was just a natural magical beast. The truth is, we never knew, the only confirmed information we have is that the creature is actually an elemental of lightning and seems to have taken on multiple forms throughout its history. Most noteably as the "White Wolf" who would cause the death and destruction of a small platinum dragon clan who had attempted to set up there lairs in its territory at the time. Though the creatures would easily outsmart and best Retra, Retra would not get its nickname from its understanding nature. With its vast stubbornness, the creature followed the dragons home and every day that they attempted to sleep it was said that Retra would slam its body into the dragon clans lair waking it up once more. This cycle would go on until the dragons would one day vanish, only two of there younger kins bodies remained.From this point on Retra who had learned to hate mountains and lairs as they made it easier for creatures to hide from it, began slamming its bodies full force into anything that it considered a suitable lair.
