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.

Landorus's tail has various flat protrusions running its span, each spotted in dark pink on its edge surface.


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 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.

===Evolution===
===Form data===
{{Evobox-1
Landorus 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}}.
|type1=Ground
 
|type2=Flying
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 back 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.

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 seems to be based on a predatory mammal, most likely a tiger or other large feline. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|White Tiger (China)|White Tiger}} (Chinese: 白虎 ''Báihǔ'') of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}; the White Tiger represents the west, and in [[Hisui]], Landorus roams the western [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] area. Additionally, it may draw inspirations from {{wp|Tezcatlipoca}} or {{wp|Tepēyōllōtl}}, gods from the {{wp|Aztec mythology}} that resemble a jaguar.
