The thorny paw (Na'vi name: ele'wll) is a large succulent cactus-like plant with long barbed spines at growing tips, short spines all over, and no leaves. It stores water in its tissues and spines prevent it from being eaten. The spines are ejected forcefully when the plant is disturbed.

The panopyra, nicknamed “love flower” by Terran scientists, is an unusual life form that has characteristics reminiscent of a jellyfish. It doesn't resemble any taxonomic plant group found on Earth and appears to represent a new line of evolution towards a primitive nervous system.

Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), pitcher plant (Cephalotus follicularis), and bladderwort (Utricularia gibba) can be seen as exemplars of key traits genetically associated with carnivory: trap leaf development, prey digestion, and nutrient absorption.
A large herbaceous fern-like plant with iridescent green and cyan leaves, the Warbonnet can be widely found on Pandora. Certain birds feed on insects that are attracted to its nectar. It is used regularly by the Na'vi for practical or ceremonial purposes, including clothing and other adornment.

The bison are covered in thick white fur with a large brown arrow marking that is remarked to be extremely itchy.
The tulkun is presumably the largest fauna on Pandora, being up to 300 feet (91.4 meters) long when fully grown, 3x bigger than even the largest Blue Whale. They also inhabit near-shore waters despite their size and can breach out of the water.
Wild ikran hunt several creatures, such as platebacked lizards, prolemuris, veilswarm, great western tetrapteron, and hexapedes, and are able to snatch fish as they fly over the surface of bodies of water.
Pandora's air is unbreathable due to high levels of carbon dioxide and trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide, posing a threat to humans. Humans use exopacks and avatar bodies to survive and explore Pandora's toxic atmosphere, but these solutions have limitations and challenges.
Like Pandoran animals, humans are oxygen-breathers, but can't survive in the high-carbon dioxide atmosphere of Pandora, and thus are heavily dependent on air filtration systems such as exopacks.
