Landorus (Japanese: ランドロス Landlos) is a dual-type Ground/Flying legendary Pokémon.
While he is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, he has a second Forme activated by using the Reveal Glass. His original Forme, Incarnate Forme, will then become Therian Forme.
His Therian Forme was officially revealed May 12, 2012.
Along with Tornadus and Thundurus, he is a part of the kami trio, serving as its trio master.
Biology
Physiology
In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is an orange, muscular humanoid Pokémon, which resembles a genie. On his forehead are three, sharp, pink horns arranged in a slight, upwards arch. Landorus has a white protrusion shaped like a short log on top of its head, a jagged white mustache and two pointed orange ears on either side of his head. His eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Landorus' body is covered in dark pink spots; most of them shaped like diamonds, pebbles and raindrops. His broad chest consists of two joined, dark pink 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 long, curling, brown, branch or root-like tail. Landorus' tail has various flat protrusions running its span, each spotted in dark pink on their edge surface.
In Therian Forme, Landorus is an orange, lean, feline-like quadruped Pokémon. The horns on his head are now thinner and arranged closer together in a downwards arch. While his hair remains the same; his mustache now takes on a more fanged maw-like appearance, curving around his head to behind his ears, which have now become smaller and rounder. 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 beige gem. Landorus' back and lower legs are stripped with dark pink, and his biceps and triceps adorned with dark pink upside down, raindrop like designs. He has four trailing cloud covered paws, each with three sharp dark pink claws. His tail remains largely unchanged, although it may be slightly smaller and shorter than before.
Gender differences
Landorus is a male-only species with no female counterpart.
Special abilities
Landorus is considered the god of fields, due to helping crops grow. His tail causes the soil to gain nutrition.
Behavior
Habitat
Landorus seems to live above the skies. Sometimes it stops on the Abundant Shrine in the Unova region, but only when Tornadus and Thundurus are in the same place.

Major appearances
Landorus made his debut in Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1. He appeared in the legend of Milos Island related to Ash and his friends by Lewis, and later appeared at the end of the episode when called to stop the battle of Tornadus and Thundurus. He then appeared in Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2, where he managed to subdue the other members of the kami trio.
Landorus appeared in both of his Formes in Unova's Survival Crisis!, where he was summoned to the Abyssal Ruins by Giovanni and sent on a rampage alongside Tornadus and Thundurus. Eventually, the three were freed by Meloetta and departed.

Trivia
- Incarnate Forme Landorus has the highest Special Attack of all Ground-type Pokémon.
Origin
In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is based on the Inari, the kami of fertility. It may also have drawn inspiration from genies.
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 White Tiger of the Chinese Four Symbols constellation, or from Tezcatlipoca or Tepeyollotl, gods from the Aztec mythology that resemble a jaguar.
Name origin
Landorus and Landlos are derived from land.
