Terrakion

Terrakion (Japanese: テラキオン, HepburnTerakion) (tur-RAK-ee-un[1]) is a Rock/Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V. Terrakion is a member of the Fighting-type quartet Swords of Justice, along with Cobalion, Virizion, and Keldeo.

Biology

Physiology

Terrakion is a bulky, quadrupedal ox-like Pokémon. Its body is mostly gray, with tan coloration on its face, underbelly, and legs. It has sharp orange eyes with small black pupils. It has two large sharply curving brown horns protruding from either side of its head, and a crest of spikes on its forehead. It has a plump, yet powerfully-built and muscular body with thick legs. Its has tan boot-like formations encircling each foot, and deep brown hoof-like feet. It has a stubby pointed tail and orange features protruding from the hump on its shoulders.

Special Abilities

Terrakion is physically powerful enough to smash through a castle wall in one great charge.

Behavior

Terrakion does not trust humans, and once fought against them alongside Cobalion and Virizion to protect Pokémon. It is a strong, protective Pokémon. It usually seems to have a fierce grimace etched on its face. In literature, Terrakion is often depicted as being less perceptive and more impulsive than its fellow Swords of Justice, sometimes causing problems for the other members because of this; however, its loyalty and dedication to its allies as well as its unrivaled compassion for the small and weak are often praised as some of its most noble traits.

Evolution

Terrakion does not evolve.

Trivia

Origin

Terrakion is likely based on an ox or some other bovine (likely a buffalo, zebu, takin, or gaur due to the hump on its shoulders); it also very slightly resembles a bulldog in body shape. It is possibly inspired by the character Porthos from the novel The Three Musketeers, being the most physically powerful member of the trio.

Etymology

Terrakion is a portmanteau of terra (Latin for "earth"), terra cotta (a type of clay, also the brown color of said clay), takin (a horned, humped ungulate which Terrakion resembles), and champion.
