Storm Runner

Storm Runner (爪黄飛電, Zhǎohuángfēidiàn (Chinese), Sōkōhiden (onyomi), lit. Claw Yellow Flying Electricity) is one of Cao Cao's beloved horses. Its real name literally translates to "flying yellow claw lightning". Cao Cao rode this horse during the infamous hunting party incident with Emperor Xian.

In gameplay, it increases the user's mounted attack power, and on a character such as Ma Chao in the 4th and 5th installments due to his powerful mounted charge attack, it can be an absurdly powerful item.
