The Storm-Hatchling Staff is a Pre-Hardmode summon weapon that is dropped by The Grand Thunder Bird. When used, it summons a Hatchling to zap nearby enemies with bolts of lightning from range. Like other minions, summoned Hatchlings are invincible and follow the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, Minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical Storm-Hatchling Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
