The akula is a carnivorous fish that has a striking resemblance to the terran great white shark or the extinct megalodon, the largest shark that ever existed. The akula is equipped with a pointy tail that is used to propel itself through the water.
Due to his actions in a past skirmish against the RDA, wherein multiple tulkun and reef Navi perished, Payakan was banished from his pod for partaking in a battle and leading to the deaths of his brothers and sisters.
The ilu is a large, plesiosaur-like sea creature that is the direhorse of the Pandoran oceans, fulfilling a biological role similar to that of a Terran dolphin.
The thanator is the rainforest's most fearsome predator. Reminiscent of a Terran panther, this enormous, powerful omnivore is unique in its ability to lord over its territory and strike fear into the largest and fiercest of Pandora's creatures.
The Avatar movies feature a variety of powerful and dangerous creatures, with the most deadly being the Thanator, an apex predator with sharp claws and an armored tail.
Na'vi are monogamous creatures and the process of their reproduction is similar to Terran mammals, as they do possess genitalia; however, though they nurse their young and possess belly buttons where they were once connected to an umbilical cord, the Na'vi are non-placental, thus the details of their internal biology ...
James Cameron introduced a wide variety of underwater species in his blockbuster sequel Avatar: The Way of Water, most notably the tulkun, massive, sentient, whale-like creatures who have a spiritual relationship with the Metkayina reef clan.
Her father is not a father, her father is another mother, Eywa, the Great Mother, the sentient life force of Pandora itself that exists in all things there, but is rarely understood. So essentially yes, Kiri was born from Eywa just like Anakin Skywalker was allegedly conceived by the Force itself and its midichlorians.
The RDA have set their sights on the tulkun after the discovery of a naturally occurring substance in the creature's brains known as amrita. The substance has the medical power to stop human aging.
One young tulkun in particular, Payakan, has lived in exile from the pack for years after a violent incident involving invasive humans. But when he befriends Lo'ak (Britain Dalton), the Sullys' rebellious middle child, Payakan shares his story and gets a redemption arc.
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.
In Avatar, the Na'vi are an indigenous species that live on Pandora. They are humanoid in appearance and are 9 to 10 feet (2.7 to 3.0 m) tall, having pairs of eyes, ears, arms, legs and feet like humans, as well as a nose, a mouth, and expressions recognizable to humans.
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.
It was only when Lo'ak insisted that Neteyam agreed to the rescue. Neteyam risked his life and perished in order to save Lo'ak and Spider from Quaritch. As Jake himself said: "A son for a son". Spider wept for Neteyam as he died as well.
Lo'ak is the fourteen-year-old son of Jake Sully and Neytiri, and one of the main protagonist of “Avatar: The Way of Water”. His rebellious spirit is portrayed by his outfits, garments and hair.
For one, even if Neytiri is 18 in human years, she's the Na'vi equivalent of a human in their early-to-mid-twenties. This is proven in three different ways: James Cameron has stated that Jake's avatar body is around 17 human years old.
As a dangerous, potentially deadly prank, the son of the village's chieftain leads Lo'ak out beyond the reef that protects them from ocean predators, and Lo'ak is nearly killed by a terrifyingly vicious shark-like creature called an akula.
Its Na'vi name (toruk) means “last shadow,” and with good reason: the great leonopteryx is the apex aerial predator of the Pandoran skies. Their fierceness and impressive size – its wingspan is more than 25 meters – have given these animals a central place in Na'vi lore and culture, as seen in the first movie.
Eywa represents a real neural network connecting all the plant and animal life of Pandora. The network forms a collective consciousness the Na'vi and Pandora's wildlife can tap into via “Tsaheylu,” a process involving specialized appendages called neural queues, which all Pandora's lifeforms possess.
The reference implies that a Na'vi's queue may be considered an intimate area of the body. Removing the queue of Pandoran wildlife has been shown to have severe effects. Despite this, It is unknown what would canonically happen if a Na'vi queue was cut off, but it is still implied to be serious.
But it turns out the 'hair sex' scene was never part of the theatrical cut at all, it was actually in the Avatar extended version that was released in 2010. The extended version is also included on home video, DVD and Blu-ray.
Jake Sully, ex-Marine, is recruited into the RDA's Avatar program after his scientist twin-brother, Tommy, is killed. Since Jake and Tommy share identical DNA make-up, Jake is able to step into his deceased brother's role as an Avatar driver.
