Description: Resembling a muscular, blue genie, Thundurus' top half is a humanoid torso, while is bottom half is obscured by a cloud. He has purple markings on his blue skin, a single purple horn, and a long, thin purple tail with black, spiked orbs along the length. In addition to the cloud that covers his lower body, he also has cloudy hair, and a cloudy moustache. He is capable of shooting lightning bolts from his tail and can summon storms. In his Therian Forme, Thundurus looks more like a dragon, his lower body entirely purple. The cloud that obscured his lower half in his Incarnate Forme has taken the shape of massive paws where his hands once were and a large, blue gem rests on his navel.

One of the Legendary Trio, the Forces of Nature, Thundurus, along with Tornadus and Landorus have also been called the Legendary Genies, the Kami Trio, and the Cloud Trio. Legends tell of Landorus, the strongest of the three, punishing Tornadus and Thundurus for wreaking devastation across the Unova Region. In more recent years, the Mythical Pokémon, Meloetta, was able to tame all three of the Forces of Nature and put a stop to their destructive rampage across the same region.
