Guzzlord(JP) is is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Dark/Dragon Pokémon introduced in the seventh generation in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It is an Ultra Beast with the code name as UB-05 Glutton (UB05 Gluttony in Japan).
Physiology and Behavior[]
Guzzlord is a massive, black Ultra Beast. Its main body is primarily spherical with a large, yellow mouth in the center. The top and bottom of the mouth are lined with two rows of teeth; the front row is yellow, while the rear row is black. In the second row of the upper jaw, two teeth curve out of the mouth similar to tusks. The inside of its mouth is a bright blue and its throat is lined with small spikes; its large black tongue is also lined with small spikes. Additional tongues resembling long arms with pincers protrude from its lower jaw even when its mouth is closed. Just above its mouth are two glowing, blue eyes with a yellow, diamond-shaped marking between them. Above each eye is a single, bat-like wing with yellow along the upper edge. There are other small bat-like wings down the sides of its body as well. On the underside of its body are three, fin-like projections that curve up towards its mouth.
Guzzlord's body is supported by a pair of thick legs, which have yellow zigzag markings across the knees and three claws each. On top of its body is a small, conical head with a second, smaller pair of glowing blue eyes. Four short horns with yellow tips form a ring around its head. On either side of its head is a larger, slightly curved horn also tipped in yellow. There is also a pair of arms on top of its body. Each arm has a hand with three yellow claws. A row of small spikes trails down its back and along its tail. The tail itself extends from the center of its back and resembles a medieval mace.
Guzzlord live in another world known as the Ultra Ruin, which is heavily implied to be an alternate universe's Alola, more specifically Hau'oli City. In the anime, it was revealed that Guzzlord is not native to the Ultra Ruin; it actually got there through an Ultra Wormhole and started devouring everything, leaving a barren wasteland behind. In the same episode, it was revealed that the second face above its maw is Guzzlord's weak point. Its body is said to feel like hard rubber. In order to eat, its tongue moves in a wave-like motion that pulls food towards its mouth. Guzzlord has an astounding appetite, devouring not only objects, but the ground, rivers, and even the seas. There have been reports of it eating mountains and buildings whole. Despite the massive amounts that it consumes, no droppings have been found, which may suggest its digestion is perfect, converting everything into energy in order to sustain itself. Wicke claims that Guzzlord, like all Ultra Beasts, stores an energy within its body similar to the aura seen around Totem Pokémon. This energy is called Z-Power.
Wicke from the Aether Foundation describes Guzzlord's capabilities as such: "Its most distinctive feature is its limitless appetite. It feeds without pause every moment that it is awake. It uses the two large tongues that protrude from its mouth to catch and devour everything in its path, be it organic or inorganic matter. And while it eats such an inordinate amount, Guzzlord excreta has never been discovered. It is thought that it might fully convert the things that it eats into energy for it to use."

Origin[]
Guzzlord is based on abominations such as those found in the literary works of H. P. Lovecraft, and the Agrajag creature of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Its black and yellow coloration is based on earthmoving machinery.
Due to its habit of eating almost anything but not excreting anything out, Guzzlord may also be based on a black hole, and also possibly a personification of gluttony. As such, its white Shiny color could be a reference to white holes. Additionally, the general shape resembles an European dragon with the pincers of a crab, while the spiny, mace-shaped tail is similar to prehistoric creatures such as the Ankylosaurus and Glyptodon.

Trivia[]
- Guzzlord has the highest base HP stat of all Dark-type Pokémon.
- It is also the heaviest Dark-type Pokémon.
- Guzzlord's English category, "Junkivore", may be a combination of junk and -vore (suffix used to identify organisms by their diet derived from the Latin word meaning "to devour"). The name can be taken to mean "an organism that feeds on junk".
