*AmbiguousSituation:
**The Beast of Thunder in the Thundersoother artifact set may be the Thunderbird, as both the Thundering Fury and Thundersoother artifact sets are exclusive to the Midsummer Courtyard domain.
**The Thunderbird seems to be based on the Thunderbird in indigenous North American mythology and the tribe that committed HumanSacrifice in its name is common in [[{{Mayaincatec}} pop-culture depictions of Mesoamerican civilizations]], not to mention that the game's Thunderbird is associated with both thunder and ''fire'' (particularly volcanoes), suggesting a connection with Natlan, the region that worships the Pyro Archon, also known as the god of war. However, both the Thundering Fury set and the Thundersoother set are found exclusively in the Midsummer Court domain in Mondstadt, which states that it was home to an ancient, lost civilization, possibly the decimated tribe described in the Thundering Fury artifacts. On the other hand, no other Mondstadt-related lore makes mention of any Thunderbird, tribes, or volcano.
*AppeaseTheVolcanoGod: Inverted.
*HumansAreBastards: It never cared for the human sacrifices made for it, but drew a line in the sand when the boy that sung to him was sacrificed. The Thundersoother set indicates that its reign of terror on humanity continued, presumably because of that incident.
*GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
**The Thundering Fury set describes the Thunderbird unleashing its powers of electricity and fire, and rather appropriately, the set's artifacts boost elemental combinations that include Electro.
**Likewise, the Midsummer's Courtyard recommends using Pyro characters. Interestingly, the Ley Line Disorders can help or detriment the player whenever a Pyro elemental combination happens, either by causing an energy blast immediately afterwards that knocks back opponents or the player, also as a reference to the Thunderbird's usage of both electricity and fire.
*HumanSacrifice:
*Myth/NativeAmericanMythology: In various indigenous North American cultures, the Thunderbird is a god in the form of a bird and was said the possess the power of thunder and lightning.
*PosthumousCharacter: Survivor of Catastrophe, the feather artifact in the Thundering Fury set, states that after destroying the tribe, the Thunderbird became seen as a monster and was slain years later.
