Victrious
Victrious appears in official material under a Forest Guardian title card (some creators recall the wording as 'Woodland Guardian'), making it the woodland entry in the regional-guardian lineup alongside Rootitan, Aquietus and Ropyrus.
Its reveal cutscene is the most talked-about of the set for its physicality: the sequence involves a huge mosquito-like Eleon with an outsized stinger menacing the player before being hurled around like a ragdoll, and the player character being smashed into the ground - footage that convinced creators the developers are pitching a 'more mature', deadlier take on the genre.
The gameplay portion is the real data source: Victrious fights at level 44, uses a move called Resonant Wave that deals damage while also raising its own stats, and displays an ability named Menacing that lowers opponents' attack - the first named ability shown anywhere in Eleons footage.

Why the Victrious footage matters
Most Eleons reveals are cinematics; the Victrious clip is one of the few with readable battle UI. From it, creators extracted three systems in one shot: moves can carry secondary effects (Resonant Wave's simultaneous damage plus self-buff implies stat stages), creatures have passive abilities with battlefield effects (Menacing), and encounter levels are displayed prominently.
The same battle showed the other side of the matchup: a bug-type Eleon using Envenomate - which inflicted the poison status - and a move called Spray Sludge, adding poison-status gameplay to the confirmed pile.
Together with Aquietus' clip, this footage is the backbone of what is publicly known about the battle system - see the battle system page for the full compilation.
Open questions
Unconfirmed: Victrious' full moveset and typing, whether level 44 reflects its real encounter level or a test build, whether it is capturable, and its relationship to the mosquito-like Eleon from its cutscene (which remains unidentified - we do not map it to any catalogued name). Verified data will replace this section at launch.
