Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura.

Terapagos appears to naturally cause [[Tera Shard|Tera Crystals]] to grow around it as it slumbers, which gave Area Zero the distinctive appearance it possesses. It is also heavily implied that Terapagos's crystals caused some Pokémon to be born in [[Area Zero Underdepths]], these being {{p|Carbink}}, {{p|Glimmet}}, and {{p|Glimmora}}.{{fact}} For a long time, many thought Terapagos was fake and that Heath had made it up, but [[Briar]] proved its existence by writing [[Briar's Book|her own book]], detailing the expedition she, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]], and the {{player}} had in the Area Zero Underdepths. | ||
The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} imply that Terapagos is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]], which is ultimately confirmed to be the case in the Pokédex. Terapagos also has the ability to alter timelines in some capacity, as seen both in the games and the [[HZ023|anime]], and is able to bring [[human]]s and objects from either other points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline or other timelines altogether to the point in time and space it currently is. When using its timeline-altering powers, a mist appears around the affected area; once it disappears, whatever was brought is sent back. However, the true limits of this power are currently unknown, but seems to affect humans and objects differently, as the player was able to keep the copy of the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} owned by the professor after the encounter at [[Kitakami]]'s [[Crystal Pool]]. Due to the [[Terastal energy]] it produces, Terapagos appears to have some sort of connection to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] and is implied to be responsible for allowing advanced technologies, such as the professor's sophisticated AI or the "[[time machine]]", to exist in spite of human limitations. | The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} imply that Terapagos is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]], which is ultimately confirmed to be the case in the Pokédex.
