Some of these are looks based some are personality! I updated some but mostly corrected a few animals to be the right animal hahah
(I have no idea if mods approve before posting so might not be able to see the pics )
Tuktirey= bat eared fox
Why? A playful child with large ears fits right into Tuks description.
Tonowari= bison
Why? A fierce, strong protector of his pack.
Varang = Hyena
Why? Hyenas live in matriarchal societies where the female hyenas are leaders, Varang is a strong capable female leader who resembles a Hyena when she laughs in her pyromania. Varang is very persistent and once she wants something she will get it, Varang is overall unsettling, confrontational, social but untrustworthy, and she isn’t a lone predator. Something I could match with hyenas,
Ronal= orca
Why? As Hyenas, orcas live in matriarchal societies, but perhaps a little more peaceful and sparing to the male orcas. Ronal took care of Pril the last thing she did, mother orcas care deeply for their calves and will do anything to keep them alive.
Mo’at= Bonobo
Why? Mo’at is a strong tsahik, bonobos are matriarchal and the females show behavior such as stopping rape of other females and defending small baby bonobos, Mo’at is deeply caring and wise which fits a old wise bonobo female.
Eytukan= elephant
Why? Elephants are wise and old, Eytukan is wise and the longest reigning Olo’eyktan of the omaticaya until he died. He never quite got rid of the grudge against the sky people for killing his eldest daughter Sylwanin. He, such as elephants, holds grudges. He also protects his clan at any cost, which elephants do to protect their young and pack.
Tsu’tey= ibex
Why? Very protective of the ones he cares about, he is ready to fight anyone if his pride gets hurt. He isn’t afraid of conflict, much like a male sheep.
Lo’ak= leopard
Why? Lo’ak often feels isolated and misunderstood, leopards keep to themselves and doesn’t do packs like lions do.
Neteyam= red deer
Why? The perfect son, hunted for trophy and showing off.
Tsireya= dolphin
Why? Tsireya is a natural in the water and has a big smile.
Anoung= young wolf
Why? Wants to prove his worth to the clan, therefore acting as if he’s grown and all knowing. Much like a cocky young wolf.
Neytiri= tigress
Why? Tigresses are powerful, fiercely protective mothers who rely on their strength, instincts, and hunting skills to survive. Neytiri is an incredibly skilled hunter and warrior, agile and deadly when she needs to be, but her greatest strength is how fiercely she loves and protects her family. Like a tigress defending her cubs, Neytiri will risk everything to keep her children safe, even when facing an enemy much stronger than herself. She is also intensely territorial, suspicious of outsiders, and slow to forgive those who threaten her people. Beneath her fierce exterior, however, lies a deeply emotional woman who feels love, grief, and anger intensely.
Jake= lion
Why? Defends his family in need, his pack (the sullys) go first before anything, but he is often hard headed and will gladly fight another male lion to prove his worth or protect the pack. Letting Neytiri do all the emotional work with the children.
Quaritch= African wild dog
Why? Wild, unpredictable but also a genius at tracking down his prey, Jake sully.
Kiri= Owl
Why? An owl is mysterious and in their own world, much like Kiri.
Lyle= Wolverine
Why? Both Lyle and wolverines are violent and not hesitant to attack.
Z-Dog= phanter
Why? Strong, cool and elegant looking. Both Zhang and panthers have such in common.
Norm= golden retriever
Why? Happy to do any work, deeply infatuated with his friends and his family.
Max= meerkat
Why? Loyal to his pack, as seen in the first movie, helping out an imprisoned Jake sully, Dr. Grace Augustine and Norm Spellman
Roxto= seal
Why? Soft and sweet, he is kind to everyone and looks cute helping out.
