AtLA 30 Day Meme: Day Seven - Favorite Animal

What is your favorite weird hybrid animal?

Spoilers will be below

Is there any way to describe a creature such as a Sabertooth Moose-Lion as anything but adorable?

Just look at that bright face full of innocence and wonder! It's just too freaking cute for words!

And then it grows up to look like this:

You do not want to mess with this mad momma.

So what about you? What is your favorite invented animal from the series?

APPA.

How is there any other possible answer.

And speaking of weird animals,
"No, it just says 'bear'."

YES APPA
I was watching today's episode, and there was that moment at the end where Appa flops onto his back and I was like

LOVE YOU FOREVER APPA

Mark is gonna be so excited when we get to the Appa episode. I am so happy that an Appa episode actually exists.

I think it would have to be a toss-up between komodo-rhinos and otter-penguins. The former because they look badass and have awesome horns, and the latter because they are simple adorable. Although it must be said I also have a soft spot for ostrich-horses.

I'm going to have to say Foo-Foo-Cuddly-Poops, for both the name and its adorableness!

Turtleducks! Although platypus-bear is consistently hilarious.

Other than Momo and Appa, koala sheep! They're so adorable.

Appa, hands down. Too fluffy and soft-looking for words.

Originally, I was just gonna choose the owl dude from the library. Cause he's a giant unsettling talking owl. In a library. But I don't think he's supposed to be a hybrid, so.

Either turleducks or platypus bears.

Interestingly, the spirit world (and things associated with it) is where we *don't* see hybrid animals. He's an owl, his helpers are foxes, Hei Bai's a panda, Tui and La are koi, there's that giant wolf thing, a couple of monkeys....*no hybrids anywhere*.

Oh wait, there's Koh. Nevermind.

Koh is a hybrid of a centipede and pure uncontainable nightmares.

Well Appa and Momo definitely. Then I have to go with the Turtleducks. So cute.

The turtle ducks.

Seriously, can you see those things? They’re absolutely adorable and squishable. They can fly and swim but they have little shells on their backs and I want some for pets and...

Okay, okay. I’ll stop now. I have to say there’s a lot of other animals I could have chosen, though. The Platypus-Bear, the Sabre-Tooth Moose Lion, the Ostrich-Horse, the Koala-Otter...even the Wolf-Bats are pretty cool. And of course, I love Momo and Appa, but I love them for themselves, not their species.

A shout out has to go to Bosco the Bear, for being the only normal animal in the series besides the random cats. Actually, that brings up a bit of Fridge Logic. Why do they call them animal combinations if the people so rarely meet normal animals? To answer my own question, my head cannon has that the world of avatar was a human colony in the far future. There was a holocaust caused by rampant genetic engineering and nuclear war which led to them being catapulted back to the medieval ages, and only Asian culture remained. The magic powers come from them being near a rift into another dimension with magical powers.
