Being the youngest of the five, Tuk symbolizes the naivety of the Omatikaya people before Jake came to lead them. She is too young to understand the reasons behind the war and violence, just as Neytiri didn't understand the cruel ways of the humans before they burned down her home and killed her father.
Tuktirey te Suli Neytiri'ite is the youngest of Jake and Neytiri's children, and the most precocious. She is wide-eyed to the wonders of Pandora, while also raised to brave its challenges. When at play, “Tuk” is open to friendship with anybody – from the human loyalists at High Camp to the Metkayina at the reef.
Toruk or "Last Shadow" Toruk, the Na'vi name for this creature, translates as “last shadow,” reflecting the belief that if this magnificent flying carnivore casts its shadow over you, that shadow will be the last you ever see.

Behind the Scenes
Tuktirey te Suli Neytiri'ite, nicknamed Tuk, is the only biological daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri and their youngest child at seven-years-old. She has two older biological brothers: Neteyam and Lo'ak, an older adoptive sister, Kiri,and an older adoptive brother, Miles Socorro.
The first reason why Neteyam has four fingers while his siblings all have five fingers might be simple genetics. Since an avatar is a hybrid of Na'vi and human DNA, it's easy to imagine the genes that control the number of digits in the body competing with each other.

Who is Kiri's biological father?
Augustine's colleague Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) was the father and Grace conceived Kiri before the end of Avatar before somehow giving birth in her Avatar body. However, the more interesting theory is that Kiri is literally the child of Eywa due to some sort of immaculate conception.
Neteyam was shot and killed by Quaritch as he and his family were trying to escape at the end of Avatar: The Way of Water. Neteyam died in his parents' arms to the horror of Lo'ak, who convinced him to try and save Spider.
It could be an immaculate conception. There's a theory that the film director James Cameron could be hiding a vital feature of the Na'vi. According to that theory, Na'vi could reproduce asexually. Unless that theory is true, Grace was impregnated by someone.
Spider's Mother Is Paz Socorro (Revealed In Avatar Comics)
It has been confirmed through Avatar comics that Spider's mother is Paz Socorro. While Avatar: The Way of Water takes place a decade after the first movie, James Cameron's original sequel script did not have as big of a time jump.
A deleted scene from the end of Avatar (2009) revealed that Neytiri was pregnant, so Neteyam was born shortly after the events of the original movie. In accordance with the sequel's timeline, Jake and Neytiri's son Neteyam is nearly 15 years old in Avatar: The Way of Water.
Toward Avatar's ending, Jake realizes that the creature has its own culture and individuality, which he must respect by setting it free until fate brings them together again. Since Jake Sully did not need the Toruk in Avatar 2, the mythical being did not return for the sequel.
After successfully defeating the RDA in the Assault on the Tree of Souls, all humans, with the exception of a few, were banished from Pandora and were sent back to their dying planet. Jake released his toruk, as Toruk Makto was no longer needed.
“We're into a very hectic two years of post-production right now,” Cameron told Campbell about the third film in his decades-spanning franchise. “So it will be Christmas of 2025.”
Neytiri was born the younger of two girls to Eytukan and Mo'at of the Omaticaya clan. From an early age, she was raised and trained in the ways of her people, of the forest where they made their home, then hunt and the kill, the song and celebration of life, with nurturing Eywa resting at the heart of all her lessons.
In Cameron's script she's introduced with the descriptor "in human age she would be 18," but that raises as many questions as it answers. As with the math that leads to Jake being 28, Neytiri's birth in the Earth calendar year 2136 and the film's setting in 2154 add up to make her 18, but that's by Earth standards.
Kiri is the inquisitive and intelligent adopted daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri. Not long after Grace Augustine's death, her dormant avatar was discovered to be pregnant, and Jake and Neytiri adopted the child when she was born.
After the battle, Jake's consciousness is permanently transferred into his avatar via the Tree of Souls. Over the following fifteen years, Jake has three children with Neytiri: Neteyam, Lo'ak, and Tuk, and adopts two others: Kiri and Miles "Spider" Socorro.
The seizure is believed to have been caused by frontal lobe epilepsy which could also cause the other symptoms Kiri has been having, including visions and the belief that she's hearing Eywa. However, the Metkayina clan believe it's down to something more spiritual and is a result of Kiri's connection to Eywa.
Though there were some theories about Kiri being a reincarnation of Grace, that isn't quite the case. Instead, Kiri's origins are a little more complicated. She was naturally conceived and born of Dr. Grace's Na'vi avatar, adopted by Jake and Neytiri, and raised in the rainforest.
The Soul Tree is the heart of Eywa, the goddess that guides all of Pandora. Avatar: The Way of Water illustrates that Kiri has a special connection to Eywa, which means she can wield powers and feel her more deeply than other Na'vi.
He learned their ways, forming a close bond with a tulkun named Payakan and Tsireya, daughter of the clan's leaders. After his escape from the SeaDragon thanks to Payakan, Lo'ak lost Neteyam while saving Spider, but was still able to save his father's life using The Way of Water.
However, it is his more impulsive younger brother, Lo'ak, who convinces him to save their symbolic sibling Spider, the biological son of Miles Quaritch. Therefore, Lo'ak feels responsible for Neteyam's death, and Jake, whose headspace is also clouded by grief, blames his youngest son for his oldest son's death.
