Biology

Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu are a group of four Legendary Pokémon. The four were trapped in shrines, kept sealed by "stakes", due to their rampage and destruction. Ting-Lu is a deer or moose-like Pokémon composed of rock, with a jade-like vessel adorned on top of its head.

It is said that the fear humanity harbored for millennia was what caused Ting-Lu to be given life. It is strong enough to create fissures 160 feet deep.
