That moment where you are rereading old chapters of Wilde Life and go, "Oh wait, wait! The Thunder Children weren't doing good things! The spiders (which I hate with the passion their unholiness deserves) saved Oscar! HOW DID I MISS THAT ANNOYED HISS AT THE END OF THAT SCENE WITH THE CHILDREN? FAIL!"
They were going to eat him, those little scamps! :)
The White Faced Bear’s spiders are good people.
Are the Thunder Children a particular Native American myth, or your own creation?
The Thunder Children are from Cherokee mythology, but their form and mannerisms are all things I came up with.
They are the lowest tier in the pantheon of the Thunder Beings, and not particularly important to any legend or story, just some little creatures used to scare children from wandering off. One story about them that sticks out to me is the tale of Stone Boy, who climbs the big tree where the Thunder Children are sleeping and slays them so that they can no longer hurt his family. It was seen as a heroic act, and a sign of Stone Boy's great power.
But, man! It really bums me out how people don't know about common figures in Native American lore! It's like you are asking me if I cam up with leprechauns! It's not your fault, it's just culturally fading away and I hate it. There's only the briefest snippet of them on wikipedia anymore, because for some reason wikipedia continuously trims down and deletes Native American mythology articles. (not helpful, Wikipedia)
One of the things I plan to do with Wilde Life as it progresses is to write up articles about each of the monsters in the comic -- what their tribal affiliation is, what they were known for doing, etc. to give people a foothold into this mythology. Maybe people will be interested enough to read some books!
I can't do it quite yet though, because it would be spoilers for some things. But soon!
What do the thunder children sound like? I've been imagining them as ghostly more childish versions of the turrets from Portal.
I imagine they have high pitched gravely voices with a lot of subtle electrical popping.

"Listen to me. You must never, under any circumstances, do what the Thunder Children say."

Getting awfully close now, my friends!
Come on out to Magical Oklahoma. We've got bearded agnostic half-Jews grappling with their own mortality on loan from Chicago.
Also, jack-o-lantern faced lightning sprites (but don't listen to them).

Clifford stepped into a puddle of Thunder Children. OOPS!
