Guzzlord (Japanese: アクジキング, Hepburn: Akujikingu) (GUZZ-lord[1]) is a Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is one of the Ultra Beasts and is code named UB-05 Glutton.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Guzzlord is a black, bipedal creature highlighted by bioluminescent blue and yellow markings. On its round bloated stomach is an enormous mouth filled with sharp teeth, and from it protrudes a pair of tongues, each with a set of jaws and teeth of its own. It has a small triangular head on the top of its body, four glowing blue eyes, a pair of small three-clawed hands and a tail tipped with a mace-like club. Guzzlord has only one weakness: quoting Dia, "Guzzlord has a weak-spot: that second face above its huge mouth."
Behavior[]
Guzzlord is a ravenous eater, devouring everything and anything in its proximity. Its known to have devoured whole buildings, even mountains, according to reports. Its two tongues have teeth of their own and are used for grabbing food. Despite its boundless appetite, however, Guzzlord produces no known excreta, presumably converting all it eats into energy.
Evolution[]
Guzzlord does not evolve.

Sprites[]
Anime[]
Guzzlord first appeared in "SM100: Battling the Beast Within!" where Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu encountered it in an alternate dimension. Guzzlord later appeared in "SM140: Z-Move Showdown!", where it wreaked havoc at Manalo Conference along with its two Shiny Guzzlord allies.
Trivia[]
- Guzzlord is similar to Hydreigon as they are both Dark/Dragon-types with two extra mouths that consume everything in its path.
- As its Pokédex entry explicitly states that "its droppings have never been found" it is implied that nearly all other Pokémon do in fact defecate.
- During the Ultra Beast arc Nanu reveals that one of Looker's partners was eaten by Guzzlord in an earlier mission.
- In Pokémon Refresh, Guzzlord will eat an entire Poké Bean in one bite and gets full quickly.
- Guzzlord is the heaviest Dark-type Pokémon.
Origin[]
Guzzlord is based on a black hole, as it consumes all and excretes nothing. Its appearance is based on crabs and sharks, as well as medieval armor. It may be also inspired by the Taotie, a mythical creature of Chinese legend that symbolized gluttony and chaos, with a body that was mostly a mouth. Additionally, it may also be based on the creature designs of H.P. Lovecraft, and also Agrajag, the demonic creature and recurring antagonist from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
With the theory that the original seven Ultra Beasts are based on the Seven Deadly Sins, Guzzlord may be based on the sin of gluttony, as it consumes everything and usually leaves nothing but destruction behind, as well as possibly being based on the aforementioned myths.
Its Shiny coloration is likely based on a white hole, a hypothetical region in space that is the opposite of a black hole. As black holes can be entered from the outside and not even light can escape from it, white holes cannot be entered from the outside and release matter and light.
Etymology[]
Guzzlord may be a combination of guzzle (to consume a lot greedily, usually food) and lord.
Akujikingu is likely a portmanteau of 悪 (aku, evil), 悪食 (akujiki, eating disgusting or harmful things), 口 (kuchi, mouth), and "king."
