Hey there, one of the creature designers from Way of Water here. Just wanted to say... this was pretty cool! (Also a Skimwing's wingspan is a little over 14 meters, but can vary slightly depending on the individual)

What I find interesting about the Prolemuris is the fact that it shows how their four upper limbs fuse together and separate up to the elbows, showing that this is also how the Na'vi possibly lost two of their limbs by their bones fusing. A somewhat similar evolutionary path.

This is my evening entertainment 1 hour and 30 mins thank you Bryce you legend.

This is absolutely incredible, so much work and detail went into this. We all appreciate it so much, keep up the avatar videos 😊

My favorite animal on Pandora will always be the Toruk due to its beautiful color and basically looking like a dragon, but I love that the Tulkun looks sort of like a whale but with crustacean characteristics (like the armor plating). I also like that they're so intelligent that they can communicate with Na'vi through language, and that the Metkayina consider them to be people (because, I mean, if the tulkun are literally smarter than humans and have their own language, philosophy and songs I think it's safe to call them 'people').

Thank you for talking about this, I tried to talk to my family about how these animals would fit in the environment but none of them listened to me 😭

James Cameron: so, ya know how a kangaroo grows a baby in its pouch? I'd really like to make a predator like that. Artist: interesting, that'll be pretty cool. JC: except I want the baby to basically be carried on the head. Artist: alright... so like a pocket in front of, or behind the neck? JC: well actually inside the neck... because the child is the head, connected to the parent-body by the tsaheylu bond. So you have 2 animals... one is blind with no way to eat, but it can hear and move and stuff... and the other can see and eat, but has no way to move, so it's a perfect symbiotic relationship. Artist: Sir? JC: oh, one last thing... in order to hunt, the head detaches itself from the body, and the body launches it at the prey where it injects heaping amounts of venom into the unsuspecting animal. Then the child/head calls for the mother/body, who can silently home in on the signal. Artist: ???...???... this one goes in the Fandom wiki, right?

at first, I was like freaking 1 hour and a half?!?? and then I proceed to binge watch the whole thing and got amazed by the details. Thank you so much for the effort and work you put into this. really appreciate your dedication, you deserved so much more recognitions!!!

Can’t tell you how fast I clicked this video! I’ve been waiting for someone to make one like this for so long.

We need a nature doc on Pandora, but narrated by David Attenborough xd

All these avatar videos are amazing it doesnt get appreciated enough

your na’vi pronunciation has improved so much

I think the star beak is based more on lion fish, which have similar looking fins, so they rely on their bright colours and venom to avoid being eaten. The Skimwing is looks to be inspired by an alligator gar and flying fish. It’s kind of ironic that the Ilu were depicted as plesiosaurs that act like dolphins, since fossil plesiosaurs would have filled similar niches to cetaceans today, minus the sonar.

I absolutely adore the amount of work and effort that has gone into every one of your avatar videos!!! They mean a lot to me and I really love that you go above & beyond for every video :) I love the amount of detail in every creature, even when it's not strictly about the creature itself!! The backstory behind taming an Ikran was especially interesting- I thought it was so cool that each rider handmakes their own harness for their banshee <3

knowing how massive the creatures of pandora are. i kinda expected to see something similar to the reefbacks from subnautica, or a massive living island (search up images for the island reefback as an example). but then again, the planet is technically already alive.

This really surprised me in the best way. It's informative and entertaining, almost like you're talking about real animals, but it's also hilarious. I imagine it took a long time to make this, so thanks for the work, I've subscribed!

If any of the creature designers from these films are still looking at this video. I personally would like to say something I've wanted to say for years. Thank you. The wildlife and people of Pandora have always been and will always continue to be a source of inspiration for me. They are the reason why If I were given the option to cybernetically or surgically augment my biological body for free, I would want a second pair of arms, a second pair of eyes, and a tail. But, the exact form I take would be dependent on the amount of time it would take, and the amount of creative liberty I had opposed against the risk it my pose to my continued ability to live.

IVE NEVER CLICKED A NOTIF SO FAST I LOVE THESE AVATAR VIDEOS OMFG

My gosh this is amazing, I can't imagine how long it took to put this together with the research, filming, illustrations and editing! What I really want is basically a documentary with a Na'vi David Attenborough to take us through Pandora and explain all the creatures, and have several seasons for different regions and everything. But they'll never allocate the budget to something like that, so your video is definitely the next best thing. Also, great structure, the habitat and food chain organisation is super fluid and flows naturally. Your humour is also nice and keeps it from being to descriptive and sterile. Thank you for your hard work, I'll definitely revisit this every now and then!
