“When the incarnations of wind and of lightning clash, Landorus arrives to quell the conflict. After the tempests and thunderbolts abate, the land is sure to be blessed with bountiful harvests.”
In Incarnate Form, Landorus is an orange, muscular humanoid Pokémon, 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, and magatamas. 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. Its tail causes the soil to gain nutrition. The energy from the tail is created by combining lightning and wind. It can also create powerful sandstorms on the few occasions it does fight. Landorus seems to live above the skies. Sometimes it stops on the Abundant Shrine in the Unova region or the Hisui region, but only when Tornadus and Thundurus are in the same place. In Hisui, it also tends to resides on islands surrounded by water. Landorus can also stop and calm the two Forces of Nature whenever the two fight or cause destruction, thus being referred to by the grateful people as Great Landorus. In Hisui, it had the title of god of fields due to it bringing life to the region along with Enamorus. It stays in Incarnate Forme when staying in a region. Landorus can unleash mini sandy whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a cloud shield to protect itself from harm.
Therian Form[]
In Therian Form, Landorus is an orange, lean, quadrupedal tiger-like Pokémon. 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.
It is also known as the god of fields for bringing bountiful harvests in Therian Forme whenever it appears, usually after stopping Tornadus and Thundurus's battles. It can travel through an entire region such as Hisui in just a few hours. The Therian Forme of Landorus is its true, original form as revealed by the Reveal Glass]]. It is known to travel around oceans in its Therian Form in search of a region to reside in. In this form, it is known to inhabit the Interdream Zone. The Therian Forme of Landorus was first discovered by the Celestica people who resided in Hisui and worshiped it. Its name was coined by Professor Burnet.
An Incarnate Form Landorus appeared in Pokémon Generations, battling Pikachu inside the Relic Castle and prepared to attack it.
Origin[]
In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is based on a deity of the land; perhaps specifically Inari Ōkami, the kami of fertility and agriculture. It may also have drawn some inspiration from Jinn or an Anemoi. In Therian Forme, Landorus is based on the White Tiger.
Landorus and Landlos may be a combination of land and Aeolus.
