"If you ever need someone to call lightning down upon your foes and whatnot, I'm your auspice."
According to legend, this auspice has the body of a raccoon dog, the face of a monkey, the limbs of a tiger, and a snake for a tail. Needless to say, this could not be further from the truth, for the fourteen-hundred-year-old Nue is simply a red panda, like several other auspices who guard Reisen Temple—though their powers are quite different. Nue can command both lightning and wind, making him a most formidable foe.
