Along withTornadus,Thundurus, andEnamorus, it is a part of theforces of nature. InPokémon the Series: Black & White, it is associated withMeloetta.

Biology

In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is an orange, muscular humanoidPokémon, which resembles a genie. It is a male-only species with no female counterpart. On its forehead are three, sharp, pink horns arranged in a slight, upwards arch. Landorus has white hair shaped like a short log on top of its head, a jagged white mustache, and two pointed orange ears on either side of its head. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Landorus's body is covered in dark pink spots, most of them shaped like diamonds, pebbles, andmagatamas. Its broad chest consists of two joined diamond-shaped pectorals, its shoulders and elbows are adorned with magatama shapes, and on top of its navel is a teardrop, all colored dark pink. It has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a long, curling, brown branch or root-like tail. Landorus's tail has various flat protrusions running its span, each spotted in dark pink on its edge surface.

Landorus is considered the "Guardian of the Fields", due to helping crops grow. It had the title of "god of fields" inHisui due to it bringing life to the region alongsideEnamorus. Its tail causes the soil to gain nutrition. The energy from the tail is created by combining lightning and wind. It possessesgreat physical strength and can create powerful sandstorms during combat. Landorus can also stop and calmTornadus andThundurus whenever the two fight or cause destruction, thus being referred to by the grateful people as "Great Landorus". It can be summoned atUnova'sAbundant Shrine with the presence of Tornadus and Thundurus. It lives in the sky, usually around islands surrounded by water. It can unleash mini sandy whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm. It attacks by wrapping the target infierce winds and searingly hot sand. It remains in its Incarnate Forme while residing in aregion.

Landorus is theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the moveSandsear Storm.

Forms

Landorus has two forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.

In Therian Forme, Landorus is an orange, lean, quadrupedal Pokémon with feline features. The horns on its head are now thinner and arranged closer together in a downwards arch. While its hair remains the same; its mustache now takes on a more fanged maw-like appearance, curving around its head to behind its ears, which have now become smaller and rounder. Its eyes remain yellow, but with larger irises that still lack visible pupils. Its chest remains broad and unchanged, while its navel is bejeweled with a beige gem. Landorus's back and lower legs are striped with dark pink, and its biceps and triceps are adorned with dark pink magatama designs. It has four trailing cloud-covered paws, each with three sharp dark pink claws. Its tail remains largely unchanged.

Landorus's Therian Forme is its true form, which is only revealed by theReveal Glass. It can travel through an entire region such asHisui in mere hours. It is known to travel around oceans in this form in search of a region to reside in. In this form, it is known to inhabit theInterdream Zone.

Trivia

• InBlack 2 and White 2, Landorus's Therian Forme had the sameshape as its Incarnate Forme.

Origin

In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is based on a deity of the land;^[1] perhaps specificallyInari Ōkami, thekami of fertility and agriculture. It may also have drawn some inspiration fromdjinn or anAnemoi. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the east windEurus, who is sometimes depicted with crops and said to bring dry winds (connected with Landorus's signature move,Sandsear Storm); or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

In Therian Forme, Landorus mostly resembles a predatory mammal, such as a tiger or other large feline. It is also loosely inspired by theWhite Tiger (Chinese: 白虎Báihǔ) of theChinese Four Symbols.^[2] This inspiration is alluded to inPokémon Legends: Arceus; the White Tiger represents the west, and inHisui, Landorus roams the westernObsidian Fieldlands area. Additionally, Landorus may draw inspirations fromTezcatlipoca orTepēyōllōtl, gods from theAztec mythology that resemble a jaguar.

Name origin

Landorus and Landlos may be a combination ofland andAeolus (ruler of the winds inGreek mythology; also spelled ΑἴολοςAiolos).
