Trivia[]
- This weapon is a reference to Capcom's Street Fighter franchise, which features a character named Blanka (which the goblin mask is modeled after) who can electrify his body.
- When it is put on a gas zombie, due to its relatively high health, the zombie will survive a long time with the mask on, killing all surrounding zombies and creating a temporary safe spot for players.
- The Roaring Thunder will damage any survivors near the player.
- In the PC game file items.txt, the weapon is referred to as "ElectricThunder" (Electric Thunder).
