Description

You may use this as an information source but do not copy, Edit, Distribute or Reproduce. Do not pass this artwork as your own.

This is a guide of the basic anatomy and the physical differences that separate an Avatar hybrid from the Na’vi.
My personal suggestion is that you watch the movie too (if you haven’t already) . It’s a good movie.

Avatar means ’to descend’. Meaning when a god takes the form of a human and goes to earth. In this case however, it is a human taking the form of a Na’vi.

The Avatar body is an artificially created hybrid, grown in an amnio tank. The body has no personality of it’s own and is inert when not in human control.
Each avatar is specially made using the human pilot’s DNA. It is necessary to add the human genes to the link between avatar body and the pilot because an unmatched driver can’t connect with someone else’s avatar.

And because of the use of human DNA, the facial structure on an Avatar naturally resembles it’s human driver.

Foot notes:

**The queue on the Na’vi and Avatar is a bundle of neural interface on the base of the skull that is directly connected to the brain. It is used to communicate in a near telepathic connection. Especially with riding-creatures and Eywa.
The neural interface is protected within a meter-long braid.

Info taken from internet sites but mostly my own observation from the movie.

This is great But I have never once seen a dark-brown haired Na'vi OR Avatar. They ALL have black hair, I don't know where you got that from?

Jivra In reply to DrowElfMorwen [2019-11-16 13:34:18 +0000 UTC]

Really dark brown can look black depending on the light. Though I get what you mean.
The dark brown hair info came from the Avatar official website when I was researching.

It is curious that one one poster, though I think it's been color edited, they seem to have brown hair, but I think all just have black, even despite the official site's own words. I could be wrong, but the black hair looks best.

I'ts actually a tentical covered in short hair, not a braid. If a Navi were completly shaven, they would resemble the Snorks form the old Hanna-Barbara cartoon.
If males have no nipples, do females, and if not, then why do they have brests, and why does Cameron obscure the areas where they would be with jewlry and other things in that "subtle" censoring style that Austin Powers poked fun of?

These topics was up for discustion four years ago. The intrest has faded and is now closed.
Yes, we do know better NOW so there is no Point to reopen it just because I am too lazy to update the info.

Jivra In reply to matsurinichan [2010-06-30 08:26:59 +0000 UTC]

Many people believe that na'vi does have nipples while other are convinced that they do not. I am undecided so I leave it out until I personally am sure about it.

DarkSnarkArtie89 [2010-06-28 21:41:06 +0000 UTC]

I should have picked this up before I began creating "what if" fan character who lives in the space age for Pandora (it would be round about the year 4000/4500 on earth, given the fact humans are still going to there post-Film events and leaving behind technology and avatars, which are intermixing with everything on the planet). But then again, I got nearly everything right and managed to creating a "black" female who didn't look like a big walking unfortunate implication (especially considering you know, Na'vi are a form of space lemur...).

I'm so glad someone else noticed that the Avatar have 4 fingers and a thumb but the Navi actually have three and a thumb. -- I thought I was just a huge nerd who watched the movie to many times. But I never noticed the eye brows. That was seriously interesting.
