#anurai

~I am beyond thankfull to @pepper-ink for bringing these two to life with her incredible sense of beauty and aesthetics which contributed to presenting the individual features of my two Tayrangi boys; go check her art, and show some love to Te'lana and Narankhüü of Easter Sea.

New oc! This is Senem, from anurai clan.

He survived the palulukan attack and has trauma that led him to be a standoffish man of a very few words. He mostly messes with the palulukan bones and his sculptures are so abstract that no one really has the desire to appreciate them. He's not an outcast, but has no real connection to any particular na'vi. He's very lonely and it's slowly eating away at him.

Kaltxi! Oeru sayaw Ta'keya. Welcome! This is a blog dedicated to all of my adventures surrounding the Na'vi home moon of Pandora, including my thoughts on and images from the books, games, and movies, as well as my real-life experiences with the Na'vi culture, such as making my own Waytelem (songcord), learning the language, and creating recipes. At the moment, I don't align with a particular clan, though I do love the Kame'tire and I am very interested to learn more about the Anurai, as I am a crafter and love finding and creating with bone and wood. I hope you join me in appreciating this wonderful world and culture. Eywa ngahu.

I was just thinking abt how its suprising that the Na'vi in Frontiers werent designed much different than the Forest Na'vi we've seen in the comics and A1. Perhaps they have differences that we'll learn about further into the game, but so far they dont seem as distinct as the Metkayina do compared to the Omaticaya.

I think Varang's clan, whom we'll meet in A3, will have a different phenotype since I've seen that their origins and lifestyle is centered around volcanic environments. Maybe we'll meet other Na'vi populations in the sequels or even in Frontiers.

I hope we do. Bc having the Metkayina be so different is a cool concept and exposes the vast genetic variations of the Na'vi and their adaptability to their environments. But without further canon variations, it seems like theyre the oddballs out, implying that theyre a different subspecies or something. Lol

What do yall think the next canon Na'vi phenotype will be and what environment their adaptations and traits will largely reflect? Do you think we'll get any info about how other factors, like mate selection, historical events or lifestyle practices (famine, migration, etc) determine traits in some clans? Do you think any fan-made Na'vi phenotypes (swamp, desert, artic, etc) will appear in future canon material?
