Thunder and Storm

“	These twin terrors attack with the power of the elements. Find shelter from the onslaught and use PSI powers to attack the two of them at once.	„
	~ Thunder and Storm’s EarthBound Player's Guide description

Background

Thunder and Storm are the sixth Sanctuary Boss in EarthBound and guard the sixth Your Sanctuary, Pink Cloud. While they are technically two entities, Thunder and Storm fight as one and share a single HP pool and moveset. They tend to take deep breaths before using their devastating "intertwine" attack, so Ness and his friends will always have fair warning. After being defeated, the way is clear for Ness to record the Pink Cloud's melody.
