Raiden's kara kesh is a version of the standard kara kesh modified by scientists and warriors in service to the Goa'uld Raiden. It was modified by Raiden's people in laboratories in the capital city of the planet Kyoto, and used by Raiden. In addition to the standard effects of a kara kesh, this version also utilizes thunder and lightning effects which can further stun its target and make Raiden appear to have control over thunder and lightning.
