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.

Do you ever wonder if that long braid around the bundle of neurons grows into a braid (or was someone braiding it for the Avatars as they matured )

Jivra In reply to Tarotshama [2010-02-10 09:13:20 +0000 UTC]

The navi have the tradition to grow the hair long and braid it for the interface protection.

Tarotshama In reply to Jivra [2010-02-10 09:59:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that makes sense. I was just wondering why the Avatars had braided hair when they were still in the tubes.

Jivra In reply to Tarotshama [2010-02-10 10:02:30 +0000 UTC]

So did I. though I imagine that humans know about the na'vi braid and naturaly they braided the interface themselvs...somehow.

Though there is allot more detailed differences between a na'vi and avatar but this is just the basics, mostly directed to beginners. ^^

Also something a friend noted to me, and I had to agree: Generally, avatars aren't as thin structurally, especially around the lower torso region, but kinda hard to tell a lot of the time

Jivra In reply to SanchaySquirrel [2010-01-13 14:13:21 +0000 UTC]

I know but that's more of an advanced thing. This is basics and mostly for beginers.
