These strange, flying leeches are very similar to their water-born kin; they are roughly 3 feet long, thin grayish-blue creatures with tiny arcs of electricity playing over their bodies. They constantly twitch and writhe, as if receiving electrical stimulation throughout their bodies.
Schools of lightning lampreys drift along in the wake of storm clouds, feeding upon powerful electrical currents and lightning. They are not normally encountered away from electrical storms (some may sniff their way down from higher altitudes if lightning is actually striking the ground). However, they might be found in unusual magical environments where electrical discharges or lightning is plentiful.
Their bodies are extremely good electrical conductors, and may have uses in magical experiments (value 200 gp to an interested alchemist or wizard).
