==Overview==The strongest Thunder Monster would probably Type appears to bean adaptation of the original manga's [[THUNDER]] [[Attribute]]; it represents control over electricity. Thunder monsters often appear to be beings with electrical powers, such as "[[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]" or "[[The Ascended of Thunder]]". Sometimes, they might also appear as non-human beings who utilize thunder and lightning as part of themselves, such as "[[Watthopper]]" and "[[Tripwire Beast]]", or as pure manifestations of electricity or thunder-inducing phenomena, such as "[[Electric Virus]]" and "[[LaLa Li-oon]]".
Many early Thunder monster [[effect]]s and support cards focus upon destroying the opponent's monsters. Later members and supports took it further by focusing on [[banish]]ing cards. There is also a subset of Level 4 LIGHT Thunder monsters that are noteworthy for stalling or locking down both players from performing certain actions; "[[Denko Sekka]]" prevents Spell/Trap Cards from being set on the field; "[[Lightning Rod Lord]]" forbids both players from activating Spell Cards during the Main Phase 1; "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" prevents cards from being searched from the Deck; and "[[Zap Mustung]]", which locks both players from Special Summoning in a very peculiar manner. ==Themes=====''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''===* [[Batteryman]]* [[Creator]]* [[Spright]]* [[Thunder Dragon (archetype)|Thunder Dragon]] ;Mixed* [[hunder]]* [[Watt]] ===''[[Rush Duel]]''===* [[Thunderbeetle]] ==Appearance in media==The following characters use Thunder monsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise. {| style="width:100%"| style="vertical-align:top; width:33%" |===Manga===; ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
