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' body is covered in various, irregularly shaped purple spots. Its broad chest consists of two joined, purple, rounded-diamond shaped pectorals and its shoulders, elbows and navel are adorned with raindrop like designs. 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. Spanning the length of its tail, Thundurus has several ball-like structures. They are a dark grey color, and each has a long, sharp spike on one side.
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.


In Therian Forme, Thundurus is a large, blue, sleek, bipedal snake or dragon-like Pokémon. The horn on its head is now thicker and extends out more, while its 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 its ears. Its eyes remain yellow, but with larger irises which still lack visible pupils. its chest remains broad and unchanged, while its navel is bejeweled with a blue gem. Thundurus' arms have lost much of their muscular bulk, and are now slimmer. It 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 than its upper body, and consist of two hind-legs and its tail. Its 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.


Thundurus can shoot thunderbolts from its tail.
Thundurus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Wildbolt Storm}}.


==In the anime==
===Forms===
[[File:Thundurus {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: H}} mod 2}}|0=|1=Therian}} anime.png|thumb|left|250px|{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: H}} mod 2}}|0=Incarnate|1=Therian}} Forme Thundurus in the anime]]
Thundurus has two forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Forces of Nature (anime)|Thundurus|Thundurus (anime)}}====
A Thundurus made his TV episode debut in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]''. It appeared on [[Milos Island]] after {{TRT}} destroyed its shrine, then began fighting with {{p|Tornadus}}. Later, when {{p|Landorus}} tried to stop them, they fought Landorus together, even after [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}} and [[Dr. Zager]] tried to capture them.


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.
In Therian Forme, Thundurus is a large, blue, sleek, bipedal snake or dragon-like Pokémon. The horn on its head is now thicker and extends out more, while its ears become more pointy and pinned back. Thundurus's 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 its ears. 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 blue gem. Thundurus's arms have lost much of their muscular bulk, and are now slimmer. It has two paw-like hands, each covered in a trailing cloud-like fluff and with three claw-tipped fingers. Thundurus's purple lower half is much smaller than its upper body and consists of two hind legs and its tail. Its feet are elongated, with three downward curved toes and claws. Thundurus's tail also remains largely unchanged, although it is thicker at the base and tapers off, becoming thinner toward the tip.


===Minor appearances===
Thundurus can shoot thunderbolts from its tail. It uses these lightning bolts to annihilate foes into nothingness. Thundurus can move so fast it can materialize without warning. 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 Thundurus was first discovered by the [[Celestica people]] who resided in [[Hisui]] and worshiped it. Its name was coined by [[Professor Burnet]].
Thundurus made his debut in a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]''.


==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
|-
Thundurus made his first appearance in [[Nimbasa City]], where he shocked {{adv|Black}} after the Nimbasa Gym's roller coaster was sabotaged and forced him to the Gym's roof. Later, Thundurus got in a battle with Tornadus near the [[Battle Subway]]. After being stopped by Landorus, the three were captured by [[Giallo]] for Team Plasma to use. Later they were used by the [[Shadow Triad]] against the Gym Leaders. These Pokémon were than given to Hood Man (Colress) to experiment how to change them to their alternate forms.

===Form data===
Thundurus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. Its Therian Forme was introduced in {{B2W2}}.
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.


===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.

====={{DL|Forces of Nature (anime)|Thundurus|Thundurus (anime)}}=====
Thundurus made his main series debut in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. It appeared on [[Milos Island]] after {{TRT}} destroyed its shrine, then began fighting with {{p|Tornadus}}. Later, when {{p|Landorus}} tried to stop them, they fought Landorus together, even after [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}} and [[Dr. Zager]] tried to capture them.
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.
====Minor appearances====
Thundurus debuted in a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', where he created a thunderstorm that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encountered.
A silhouetted Thundurus appeared in its Therian Forme in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

In ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]'', Thundurus got in a battle with Tornadus near the [[Battle Subway]]. After being stopped by Landorus, the three were {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] for [[Team Plasma]] to use. Later, they were used by the [[Shadow Triad]] against the [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Nacrene City]].

===Origin===
===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Thundurus may be 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. It also may be based on the Qiling, a mythical creature from east Asia described to have a horn on its forehead and occasionally associated with lightning.
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.
