| In Therian Forme, Tornadus is a large, green, bipedal, long-necked, bird-like Pokémon. It now lacks any visible ears, and the horns on its forehead have become thinner and crest-like.

Tornadus (Japanese: トルネロス Tornelos) is a Flying-type Legendary Pokémon.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, it has a second Forme activated by using the Reveal Glass. Its original Forme, Incarnate Forme, will then become Therian Forme.
Its Therian Forme was officially revealed May 12, 2012.
Along with Thundurus and Landorus, it is a part of the Forces of Nature.
Biology
In Incarnate Forme, Tornadus is a green, muscular humanoid Pokémon, which resembles a genie. It is a male-only species with no female counterpart. On its forehead are two, purple, long and sharp horns. Tornadus has white, wavy and billowy styled hair, a spiky white mustache and two pointed green ears on either side of its head. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Tornadus' body is covered in various, irregularly shaped purple spots. Its broad, purple chest consists of two joined, partially diamond shaped pectorals and its shoulders, elbows and navel are adorned with raindrop like designs. It has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a purple long, curling tail, tipped with a whirl. Spanning the length of its tail, Tornadus has several whorled structures. They are a light Khaki color, and follow the same direction as the tip of its tail.

Trivia
- Tornadus is the only pure Flying-type Pokémon. However, other Pokémon are able to temporarily become pure Flying types through their Abilities or moves, such as Kecleon and Arceus.
- This also makes it the only single-type Pokémon with a unique type combination.
- This makes it the only known Pokémon with no weaknesses while Delta Stream is in effect in both normal and inverse battles without changing its type.
- Tornadus is the only member of its trio whose Therian Forme is not immune to Electric-type attacks in normal battle conditions.
- It is also the only one that can have a weakness to Electric-type attacks in standard battle conditions.
- Tornadus and Thundurus have identical base stat distribution in their Incarnate Formes.
- Tornadus is the only single-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
- When Tornadus appears on Route 7 in Pokémon Black, Thundurus's cry is heard.
- In an interview with Nintendo Dream, Ken Sugimori revealed that Tornadus was originally intended to be red.
- Prior to Generation VI, Tornadus's Therian Forme had the same body style as its Incarnate Forme.
Origin
In Incarnate Forme, Tornadus is based on Fūjin, the kami of wind. It may also have drawn inspiration from genies.
In Therian Forme, Tornadus seems to be based on a bird of prey, most likely an eagle, vulture or other large avian species. It may also draw inspiration from the Vermilion Bird of the Chinese Four Symbols constellation, or from Huitzilopochtli, a god from the Aztec mythology that resembles a hummingbird.
Name origin
Tornadus and Tornelos may be derived from tornado and Aeolus, ruler of the winds in Greek mythology.
