Appa


Appa- First Seen: Chapter 1, Book 1
Affiliation: Air
Personality: Despite the first impression of being a monstrous, carniverous, deadly beast, Appa is actually a good-natured bison, who'd rather eat, sleep, and have the spaces between his paws washed than do anything else. He loves Aang and has also grown an attachment with Sokka and Katara (and possibly Toph), and becomes fierce only when they are threatened.

Background Info: Chosen by Aang when they were both very young, Appa is the animal guide to the Avatar. With the arrows of the Air Nomads colored into his fur, Appa shares their ability to fly, and harbors a number of other unique skills: Sending his massive tail down generates a gust of wind few can stand up to. A nightmare to feed, due to his five stomachs, Appa is also a very good animal to have around, for both his ability to take Aang and his friends almost anywhere, and his emotional support of Aang. He's also helped the gang out of a lot of tight spots.

Powers: It isn't know how Appa flies. He most certainly isn't lighter than the air around him, and has no wings or anything like that, so it must be something that he has just because he's a sky bison. He can stomp his massive tail and send a huge, fast moving stream of air at something when he needs to. This is probably due not only to the size of the tail and the air that it displaces when it moves quickly, but to his affiliation with the Air Nomads. Finally, he can suck large, heavy objects toward him simply by breathing in hard, another ability probably helped along by affiliation with the nomads.



Appa is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker
