'''Landorus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ランドロス''' ''Landlos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].


It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon.
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Landorus has a second [[#Form data|form]] activated by using the [[Reveal Glass]]. Its original form, '''Incarnate Forme''', will then become '''Therian Forme'''.


Along with {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, Landorus is a member of the [[Kami trio]], serving as its [[trio master]].
Its Therian Forme was officially revealed on May 12, 2012.


==Biology==
Along with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}, it is a part of the [[forces of nature]]<!--, serving as its [[trio master]]-->.
===Physiology===
Landorus is an orange, muscular, vaguely ogre or genie-like Pokémon. He has three small orange horns, orange ears, yellow eyes and a white mustache. His muscular arms are spotted with darker orange, and his navel also has a spot of orange. His chest is colored pink and he has five fingers. He has a trailing cloud for a lower body, and his long, curling, brown, branch-like tail is adorned with various flat, orange protrusions.


====Gender differences====
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is associated with {{p|Meloetta}}.
Landorus is a male-only species with no female counterpart.


===Special abilities===
==Biology==
Landorus is considered the god of fields, due to helping crops grow. His tail causes the soil to gain nutrition.
In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is an orange, muscular humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, 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 {{wp|magatama}}s. 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.


===Behavior===
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 {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|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 {{p|Enamorus}}. Landorus is permanently in its Incarnate Forme while living in a region. It can unleash mini sandy whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm.


===Habitat===
Landorus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Sandsear Storm}}.
Landorus seems to live above the skies. Sometimes it stops on the Abundant Shrine in the Unova region, but only when {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} are in the same place.


===Diet===
===Forms===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Landorus has two forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.


==In the anime==
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.

===Major appearances===
Landorus made its debut in [[BW059]]. The same Landorus also appeared in [[BW060]].


===Minor appearances===
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]].

===={{Trading Card Game}}-only moves====
===Form data===
Landorus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. Its Therian Forme was introduced in {{B2W2}}.


===Side game data===
By default, Landorus is in its Incarnate Forme. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], it changes into its Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, it reverts to Incarnate Forme. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Landorus cannot be [[trade]]d while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Forme from being traded to {{game|Black and White|s}}, where it doesn't exist.


===Evolution===
The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Its Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite its Incarnate Forme also having a Hidden Ability.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Landorus has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Landorus's Therian Forme had the same [[List of Pokémon by shape|shape]] as its Incarnate Forme.
* Landorus is one of four Pokémon immune to one of its own types without the aid of an ability. He shares this trait with {{p|Gligar}}, {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Stunfisk}}.
** Coincidentally, they are all {{type|Ground}}.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Landorus is based on the {{wp|Inari (mythology)|Inari}}, the {{wp|kami}} of fertility. It may also have drawn inspiration from {{wp|Jinn|genies}}.
In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is based on a deity of the land;<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> perhaps specifically {{wp|Inari Ōkami}}, the ''{{wp|kami}}'' of fertility and agriculture. It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|Jinn}} or an {{wp|Anemoi}}. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who is sometimes depicted with crops and said to bring dry winds (connected with Landorus's signature move, {{m|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 the {{wp|White Tiger (China)|White Tiger}} (Chinese: 白虎 ''Báihǔ'') of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}.<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> This inspiration is alluded to in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}; the White Tiger represents the west, and in [[Hisui]], Landorus roams the western [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] area. Additionally, Landorus may draw inspirations from {{wp|Tezcatlipoca}} or {{wp|Tepēyōllōtl}}, gods from the {{wp|Aztec mythology}} that resemble a jaguar.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Both Landorus and ''Landlos'' are from the word "land."
Landorus and Landlos may be a combination of ''{{wp|land}}'' and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}; also spelled Αἴολος ''Aiolos'').

Landorus (Japanese: ランドロス Landlos) is a dual-type Ground/Flying Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, Landorus has a second form activated by using the Reveal Glass. Its original form, Incarnate Forme, will then become Therian Forme.

Its Therian Forme was officially revealed on May 12, 2012.

Along with Tornadus, Thundurus, and Enamorus, it is a part of the forces of nature.

In the anime, it is associated with Meloetta.

Biology

In Incarnate Forme, 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. Landorus is permanently in its Incarnate Forme while living in a region. It can unleash mini sandy whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm.

Landorus is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Sandsear 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.

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.

Form data

Landorus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. Its Therian Forme was introduced in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

By default, Landorus is in its Incarnate Forme. When exposed to the Reveal Glass, it changes into its Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, it reverts to Incarnate Forme. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Landorus cannot be traded while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Forme from being traded to Pokémon Black and White, where it doesn't exist.

The two forms have different base stats, Abilities, and cries. Its Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite its Incarnate Forme also having a Hidden Ability.

Trivia

Origin

In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is based on a deity of the land;[1] perhaps specifically Inari Ōkami, the kami of fertility and agriculture. It may also have drawn some inspiration from Jinn or an Anemoi. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the east wind Eurus, 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 the White Tiger (Chinese: 白虎 Báihǔ) of the Chinese Four Symbols.[2] This inspiration is alluded to in Pokémon Legends: Arceus; the White Tiger represents the west, and in Hisui, Landorus roams the western Obsidian Fieldlands area. Additionally, Landorus may draw inspirations from Tezcatlipoca or Tepēyōllōtl, gods from the Aztec mythology that resemble a jaguar.

Name origin

Landorus and Landlos may be a combination of land and Aeolus (ruler of the winds in Greek mythology; also spelled Αἴολος Aiolos).
