One of the things everyone loves about the Four Nations is all the strange, wonderful, and sometimes scary creatures that inhabit them. Some of the most notable among these creatures are the Air Nomads’ flying bison, Kyoshi Island’s elephant-koi, the Earth Kingdom’s singing groundhogs and fire ferrets, and even the little purple pentapus.
