"Thunderhead emits mobile areas of high electromagnetic forces. These are slow, but anything caught within will be rapidly uh... what's the word... annihilated?"

The Thunderhead is an unlockable weapon that can be purchased from Kleines for 130,000G after defeating Overlord. It fires large spheres of electricity that travel slowly and zap enemies they pass by. The projectile itself passes right through enemies and doesn't do any contact damage, but instead deals a constant 25 damage every 8 frames to enemies within a certain radius, thought it can only target one at a time. The projectile disappears upon hitting a wall, but can zap enemies through walls if shot parallel to one. In general, the Thunderhead can melt bosses very quickly, but its slow fire rate in addition to only being able to target one enemy at a time makes it somewhat inefficient at clearing groups of small enemies.

Name	Keywords	Description
Corona	Holy All Pierce	Shoots Thunderhead orbs that from its core shoots at enemies with a railgun-like laser. This weapon travels slower than other non unique Thunderhead weapons. As this weapon has the Holy keyword, it will automatically spawn as a blessed weapon.
Black Hole	--	Shoots big shots that suck in enemies (unless the enemy is stuck to the wall, like Crawlers). Slows down when it hits a target. Can go through walls.
Gorynich	Chariot Chain Lightning Continuous	Once shot, it travels a short distance (about 1/3rd of the screen) and holding the fire button will put it in place until it hits a object. It moves with the player. To fire a second one, the player must release the fire button to dispel the previous shot, regardless of if it hits an object or not.
