Summary
Balkzardan is a lightning kaiju created by Toho that appeared in the 1998 video game, Godzilla: Trading Battle. Balkzardan appears to be based on a mammalian carnivore of some kind; possibly a wolf or a cheetah (due to its extreme speed).

Attack Potency: At least Small Planet level+ (Can create horizon to horizon spanning storms at will which translates into 9.6 Mt[1]. Balkzardan is the source of the El Niño phenomenon over the Pacific Ocean. He fought with King Ghidorah, who can destroy the surface of planets with his gravity beams, and Desghidorah, who absorbed the energy of "several" planets (at least 10 of them), including Mars, destroying the planets in the process. Such feats could yield this much energy[1]), Planet level with Battle Cards (Can multiply his power by 10 to 30 times with Battle Cards[1]), ignores conventional durability with Death Manipulation

Standard Equipment: Teeth, claws and tail
- Optional Equipment: Battle Cards
Intelligence: Average (Can control weather as he wishes)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Electric blasts: Balkzardan fires a blast of electricity from its tusks.
- Spark Dash: A powerful physical attack enhanced by energy. Calling down two arcs of lightning, Balkzardan absorbs the bolts into its back protrusions, its entire body glowing vibrantly. It then rams into the opponent, transferring its entire reservoir of collected energy through touch, and causes the opponent's body to light up with electric sparks and explosions.
- Tornado Bolt: An electric energy attack. Balkzardan straightens its posture and simultaneously shoots a burst of electric beams from the two horns near its maw. When the bolts are discharged, thunder cracks through the air and the entire area very briefly lights up. Balkzardan does not require the absorption of lightning to perform this move.
- Thunderstorms: It is capable of calling down lightning bolts and storing the energy in its back, later unleashing it as either electrical strikes.
- S Thunder: An offensive and defensive shield formed from the emission of energy from Balkzardan's back protrusions. A massive sphere of electricity surrounds Balkzardan, causing explosive damage to any monsters that come in contact with it. The sphere lasts for several seconds, pulsating twice before fading. While useful against physical combatants, it is unknown if this attack can nullify or mitigate enemy energy attacks. Balkzardan does not require the absorption of lightning to perform this move.
- Lightning Absorption: Balkzardan is capable of calling down lightning from the sky and absorbing the intense energy for use in combat. This can be indicated if its whole body appears to be shining with a white light. Its moves gain enhanced power when the stored energy is released, particularly through physical contact. However, a majority of Balkzardan's techniques do not require the absorption of lightning in order to be performed.
- Electron projection: Able to collects electrons through an apparatus on its tail, and the wing-like projections on its back store the electrons.
- Flight: As it lives naturally atop thunderclouds, Balkzardan is capable of flight.
- Extreme Speed: One of its most noteworthy aspects, Balkzardan is extremely fast on the ground, more so than in the air. When in battle, it can sprint across the land at very high speed, making it a difficult target to hit. While it is unknown how fast it travels, it is said to run at "breakneck speeds."
