Design and inspiration[]

Front view of Ray Dan's clothing.
Ray Dan's has the appearance of an ordinary Asian villager with a serious face expression and wears a conical Asian hat, a blue robe and a large necklace. Ray Dan actually hovers and doesn't walk, while electricity emanates from his hands occasionally. This enemy is based on Lightning from Big Trouble in Little China. Ray Dan's powers and fierce personality are based on Raijin, the deity of storms, thunder and lighting in traditional Japanese mythology and the modern Shinto, a spiritual practice and religion that is still widespread in Japan. However, its clothes and general appearance more closely resemble Chinese cultural elements and traditions, including some inspiration from the thunder gods of Taoist religion such as Lei Gong. Ray Dan's robe closely resembles the han fu, a formal robe used by the Han Chinese ethnic group.
Behaviour and strategy[]
Ray Dan follows a set patrol route or can remain stationary, and attacks Gex upon noticing him by concentrating electricity in the palm of its hand and flinging a thunderbolt from his index finger in a horizontal trajectory.
