Lei Gong

In Chinese mythology, Lei Gong is the God of Thunder.

This god started off as a mortal. When he ate the Peach seed that came from Heaven due to the struggle between the Fox Demon and One of the Celestial Warrior and came down to earth by mistake and became an evil tree. When he took a bite out of the peach, he was formed into a human like bird with wings. He soon received a mace and a hammer that can create thunder. This is how he became the God of Thunder.
