Appearances

Anime

The Kami Trio

Landorus and his brothers appeared in Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1 and Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2, and again (in his Therian Forme) in Unova's Survival Crisis!

Trivia

  • Landorus is the only legendary Ground/Flying Pokémon.
  • It's possible that this Pokémon creates sandstorms, as Tornadus creates whirlwinds and tornadoes, and Thundurus creates thunderstorms.
  • Landorus shares similarities with Rayquaza in many ways, seeing how they appear to be the masters of their trio, have higher base stats, and how they both stopped their counterparts from harming their home region.
  • Although Landorus is a Flying type, it doesn't learn any moves of this type through leveling up.
  • Even though Landorus is said to have punished the other members of its trio, it does not have a type advantage over them.
    • However, this can be countered by the fact that Landorus can learn rock type attack moves by leveling up.
  • Landorus is the only member of the Forces of Nature to not debut in a movie.
  • While Landorus has a gender, it still cannot breed due to being a Legendary Pokémon.

Origin

Thundurdus is based on Inari, the Shinto god/goddess (Inari has been portrayed as both a man and a woman) of fertility, agriculture, wealth, commerce, industry, and foxes. It, alongside the other Forces of Nature, resembles a genie.

Its Therian Forme resembles a feline, most likely a tiger. It may also be based off of the White Tiger from the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology. Considering its possible inspiration from Inari, this form may also take inspiration from foxes.

Etymology

Landorus and its Japanese name, Randorosu, likely come from land and Aeolus, a Greek wind god.
