==Biology==
===Physiology===
In Incarnate Forme, Thundurus is a blue, muscular humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which resembles a genie. It is a male-only species with no female counterpart. On its head is a single, long, sharp, purple horn. Thundurus has white, zigzagging, and jutting-styled hair, a spiky white mustache, and two pointed blue ears on either side of its head. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Thundurus's body is covered in various, irregularly shaped purple spots. Its broad chest consists of two joined diamond-shaped pectorals, its shoulders and elbows are adorned with {{wp|magatama}} shapes, and on top of its navel is a teardrop, all colored purple. It has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a thick, long, curling, purple, cable-like tail. Thundurus has six ball-like structures its tail goes through at intervals, like knots in a cord. They are a dark gray color, and each has a long, sharp spike on one side.

Thundurus has white, zigzagging and jutting styled hair, a spiky white mustache and two pointed blue ears on either side of his head. His eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Thundurus' body is covered in various, irregularly shaped purple spots. His broad chest consists of two joined, purple, rounded-diamond shaped pecks and his shoulders, elbows and navel are adorned with raindrop like designs. He has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. His lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a thick, long, curling, purple, cable-like tail. Spanning the length of his tail, Thundurus has several ball-like structures. They are a dark grey color, and each has a long, sharp spike on one side.


In Therian Forme, Thundurus is a large, blue, sleek, bipedal snake or dragon-like Pokémon. The horn on his head is now thicker and extends out more, while his ears become more pointy and pinned back. Thundurus' hair remains the same; the mustache now takes on a more raised snout and fanged-maw-like appearance, with two curving wisps flowing back and past his ears. His eyes remain yellow, but with larger irises which still lack visible pupils. His chest remains broad and unchanged, while his navel is bejeweled with a blue gem. Thundurus' arms have lost much of their muscular bulk, and are now slimmer. He has two paw-like hands, each covered in a trailing cloud-like fluff and with three claw-tipped fingers. Thundurus' purple lower half is much smaller then his upper body, and consist of two hind-legs and his tail. His feet are elongated, with three downward curved toes and claws. Thundurus' tail also remains largely unchanged, although it is thicker at the base and tapers off and becomes thinner toward the tip.
It is known to be disliked and feared by people and farmers for its destructive rampages which include fierce thunderstorms. It tends to cause forest fires whenever it flies around shooting lightning. Thundurus's lightning bolts can enrich the soil of any ground it hits. Any area visited by Thundurus is marked by charred remains of areas it destroyed. Thundurus has been known to get into violent conflicts with {{p|Tornadus}} ever since the beginning of time. Thundurus can unleash mini thunderstorms while surrounding itself with a cloud shield to protect itself from harm. Thundurus lives in the sky and around the oceans of a region. Thundurus is permanently in its Incarnate Forme while living in a region. It can unleash mini sparky whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm.

Its name was coined by [[Professor Burnet]].

===Form data===
{{learnlist/eventh|Thundurus|electric|flying|5|5}}
Thundurus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. Its Therian Forme was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.
{{learnlist/event5|[[Milos Island]] [[List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Milos Island Thundurus|Thundurus]]<sup>Lv.70</sup><br>[[Milos Island|Samroseuseom]] [[List of Wi-Fi Korean event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Samroseuseom Thundurus|Thundurus]]<sup>Lv.70</sup>|Hammer Arm|Fighting|Physical|100|90|10}}
{{learnlist/eventf|Thundurus|electric|flying|5|5}}


===Side game data===
By default, Thundurus 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 back to Incarnate Forme. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Thundurus 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.

Thundurus appeared in both of his Formes in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', where he was summoned to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] by {{an|Giovanni}} and sent on a rampage alongside Tornadus and Landorus. Eventually, the three were freed by {{an|Meloetta}} and departed.

===Origin===
===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the {{wp|kami}} of thunder and lightning. It may also have drawn inspiration from {{wp|Jinn|genies}}.
In Incarnate Forme, Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the ''{{wp|kami}}'' of thunder and lightning.<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> It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|Jinn}} or an {{wp|Anemoi}}. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, which is shown in the Pokémon's connection to lightning and its signature move, {{m|Wildbolt Storm}}.


In Therian Forme, Thundurus seems to be based on a reptile, most likely a snake or dragon. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Azure Dragon}} and/or {{wp|Black Tortoise}} of the Chinese Four Symbols constellation, or from {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, a god from the Aztec mythology that resembles a feathered serpent.  
In Therian Forme, Thundurus most closely resembles reptiles such as serpents or dragons. It is also loosely inspired by the {{wp|Azure Dragon}} (Chinese: 青龍 ''Qīnglóng'') 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 Azure Dragon represents the east, and in [[Hisui]], Thundurus roams the eastern [[Cobalt Coastlands]] area. Additionally, Thundurus may be based on the {{wp|Qilin}}, a mythical creature from East Asia described as having a horn on its forehead and occasionally associated with lightning.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Thundurus is a corruption of ''thunderous''.  
Thundurus may be derived from ''thunderous'' and possibly ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}).


Voltolos is derived from ''volt''.
Voltolos may be a combination of ''volt'' and Αἴολος ''Aiolos'' (Greek name for Aeolus).
