Mascot legendaries never have an anthro-human like stance. That's usually given to the Mewtwo/ Deoxys type legendary.

That's the idea. Aside from the birds, Mewtwo and Mew were the only legends in gen 1. By the way, in the first two generations there were no real "beasty" Pokémon to speak of; it's been a tradition since Gen 3.

Tektanium draws inspiration from Mewtwo since they have a similar background, being (partially) artificially created by scientific means.

By the way, what stops us from taking a left turn. Not all mascot legends have to be beastly. As long as they have the air of might around them, they can be as legendary and mascotty as Groudon, Dialga or Zekrom.

That's my view on the case.
