I wonder if it would kill them or just shock the absolute shit out of them?
Humans can survive lightning so I mean why not, but Iโ€™m also interested in the probability.

2 options, given that they coevolved with tall trees, itโ€™ll likely lives in places with trees taller than them, so they were safe from lightning.

Another option, is that they frequently got hit if walking in a clearing, and therefore evolved to survive lightning.
