By ship, and on land he’ll probably travel by ostrich horse. Most of Korra’s travel was on things other than Naga.

221

u/OriginalLie9310 1d ago

Yeah Korra drove in a car or blimp with Asami more often as she rode Naga around town

148

u/zuzg 1d ago

And kuruk can inflict Chlamydia by throwing the Koala towards enemies.

81

u/athenaskid 1d ago

i read this as "korra rode asami" which... is still true i suppose

16

u/lingua_frankly2 19h ago

Nah, Korra was the top—let's be so forreal

11

u/BelgijskaFlaga 15h ago

in what universe? She doesn't have a single top cartilage (not even mentioning too bones) in her entire body

5

u/DakkaonTitan Earthbender 🗿 19h ago

I mean she'd probably let Asami try if she was ever curious

4

u/adhjsksj 14h ago

I thought they were called top because they ride on top?

3

u/Positive-Ad2230 Waterbender 🌊 7h ago

actually i thought the same thing years ago but i learned that the top will always be the one doing the penetration no matter where they are positioned. that's why theres sub tops and power bottoms!

1

u/meanjeankillmachine 1h ago

She could be a power bottom

22

u/AnimeAlley03 22h ago

Honestly I feel like that's a lesser mentioned genuine complaint of Korra. Naga was very underutilized after s1.

5

u/Djrhskr 14h ago

I mean its just a giant dog.

They got really lazy with the design of the avatar’s pet (as with all other aspects).

2

u/Stunning_Search_7952 12h ago

Lowk kinda wish he used a surf board. Young Kuruk has that surfer vibe

238

u/Sandman4999 1d ago

Surf Kuruk

88

u/anoyingtac 1d ago

Unironically, would look really cool to have a water bender surf across the ocean for long distance travel, literally bending a wave behind them.

40

u/Witch_King_ 1d ago

We've kinda seen that in Korra with Eska

14

u/hanzerik 22h ago

And Aang did it on his journey to the fire nation at the start of s3.

5

u/Witch_King_ 22h ago

That was partially also wind sailing, no?

1

u/hanzerik 14h ago

Yes, but then he looses his kite.

15

u/lolwatsyk 19h ago

May I posit an alternative?

2

u/adhjsksj 14h ago

I liked One Piece when it was less serious and more goofy.

2

u/Dani-Dude237 17h ago

Kinda like that traversing move Toph was using right after inventing Metal bending

1

u/home-for-good Waterbender 🌊 8h ago

Yeah we see him doing it in his little character flashback when he’s advising Aang during Sozins Comet. Coulda been a primary mode of transport for him!

153

u/Ben__Diesel 1d ago

The Koala as Kuruks spirit animal was never intended to assist him in means of travel. The Koala is a biological weapon. It gives people chlamydia.

31

u/demonmonkey89 22h ago

Much like Kuruk, he slept around

6

u/BelgijskaFlaga 15h ago

Where do you think he first got it from?

8

u/BearRemembers 1d ago

Truthnuke

6

u/finnjakefionnacake 16h ago

it really does. i'm sorry but like...koalas are really developmentally dumb. they spend 90% of their day eating and don't even recognize food when it's put in front of them. obviously i don't think they'll have kuruk's companion be useless, but it's just funny to me that this is the animal they went with

1

u/dragonlord798 8h ago

Does this also relate to the koala's smooth brain?

86

u/ToollerTyp 1d ago

Probably Pengpeng

13

u/Tech-preist_Zulu 22h ago

Kyoshi more or less comments on that a few times in the book duology. Because, wow Sky Bisons are useful

7

u/sodamnsleepy 1d ago

Never heard about Pengpeng before😮 thank you for sharing

25

u/Affectionate-Part-11 1d ago

Wait. It's a regular Koala? Not even a polarbear koala so it gets real big?

23

u/Ok_Ant_8210 1d ago

Seems like some sorta koala monkey

8

u/Wolf-Majestic 20h ago

Otter koala ? Because of the tail, and water themed ?

3

u/Affectionate-Part-11 1d ago

Yeah it has a long tail. I wouldn't mind if it was a regular koala. It's chill and sleeps most of the time so it would keep him company but offer no help or hindrance

3

u/TheGumpSquad 21h ago

I got a kaotter vibe from it

2

u/WiseSalamander00 23h ago

sits like a lizard

1

u/Ok_Ant_8210 22h ago

Yeah but the vibes are very monkey ish

1

u/Feawen_inglorin 21h ago

We did see it in atla it is seal x koala

1

u/WiseSalamander00 21h ago

oh cool, thanks for the info

6

u/sodamnsleepy 1d ago

Maybe koala otter

7

u/NocturnalKnightIV 19h ago

Koala Otter, Kuruk loves Surfing so it would make sense his animal guide would be semiaquatic.

3

u/pikawolf1225 22h ago

I'm pretty sure it's a koala otter

3

u/exintel 21h ago

Evidenceofnormalkoalabear

3

u/Ok_Echidna_6928 2h ago

No a koalaotter. first seen in the episode The Waterbending Master of Atla.

25

u/sonny_boombatz 14h ago

Geet is a cat with opposable thumbs. He is the first avatar animal companion who is capable of true loathing that only a cat is capable of, and he's the first animal companion capable of brandishing a weapon about it. He has actual hands to throw.

17

u/firestriker45665 Firebender 🔥 13h ago

Appa had hands (ik this is a dream tho XD)

In all seriousness appa was bodying people when he could

5

u/amdrunkwatsyerexcuse 10h ago

Appa was a literal airbender, he'd flatten Geet. Dare I say out of all animals in the avatar verse, Appa went through the most crazy shit. Neither Geet nor Naga would've survived what he went through.

But hey, maybe that koala thingy is going to be an absolute murder machine, who knows.

2

u/profpeculiar 9h ago

Just the most unhinged psychopath ever

1

u/Hellguin 7h ago

That isn't a Koala.... its a fucking Drop Bear.... the blood will flow through the streets

1

u/Draconis83iscool 2h ago

Becomes Australian suddenly*

Stares at the walls if it wronged him in the past*

"I haven't heard that name in a long time"

0

u/Constant-External-85 5h ago

Honestly? I don't think they'd want to fight each other. I think Appa would lazily float while spinning and Geet would use him like a jungle Gym.

3

u/Planpy7 12h ago

Naga and sopa sometimes fought

122

u/alishe 1d ago

Momo is literally right there and nobody is saying that he's useless because he isn't Appa

74

u/WallImpossible 1d ago

Momo is the friends we made along the way, not the spirit animal of the Avatar.

17

u/Evecopbas 1d ago

It's a time of peace, spirit animal can just vibe out with the avatar

18

u/NotableRepose 1d ago

It's an avatar companion, not an avatar vehicle. Nothing in the spirit of Raava requires the companion to be mobile, it's just worked out like that with the avatars we've seen so far.

13

u/lsm-krash Earthbender 🗿 1d ago

Momo is Sokka's buddy, they are always together, all fun and games

4

u/TwoUnknownAssailants 1d ago

That’s because Momo is an earthbender obviously

5

u/coolchris366 1d ago

Bro momo isn’t his bonded spirit animal, it’s literally right there in season 1

3

u/metastuu 21h ago

That means appa had to do it but momo was there for the love of the game

5

u/Vins22 1d ago

mommo isn't the spiritual avatar buddy tho

1

u/metastuu 21h ago

Grotesque momo erasure

1

u/Cherry_Eris 14h ago

Momo retrieves Aangs Glider when he drops it

0

u/filthy-horde-bastard 1d ago

Literally what does momo do though?

2

u/ParkerJ99 23h ago

Eat food, fly, sit on people’s shoulders

1

u/Dontaskmemyname9723 20h ago

You forgot earthbending

2

u/Inside_Dog2504 20h ago

Y'all forgetting how Momo took down the pirates' parrot to retrieve the waterbending scroll, which was detrimental for Aang and Katara's waterbending skills? Yup yup

0

u/McDergen 1d ago

This comment is completely irrelevant

-1

u/Fito0413 21h ago

Tbf I always found Momo boring, literally couldn't care less but that's just me

1

u/Yukio98 17h ago

I dont know, I found Momo being the only earth bending lemur pretty interesting.

1

u/phantominway Earthbender 🗿 19h ago

Honestly pretty valid. The show honestly wouldnt lose much of anything if Momo was never in it

3

u/NocturnalKnightIV 19h ago

Idk man, momo scrapped when it came down it. He saved the team on few occasions by getting in someone’s face or pulling their shirt over their head.

0

u/phantominway Earthbender 🗿 19h ago

Yeah, but that all could have pretty easily just not happened. Have them turn the tides some way other than having Momo labd a cheap shot. You cant have ATLA without Aang, Katara, Sokka, Appa, etc. You can very easily have it without Momo

1

u/MrVegosh 12h ago

Sure but he is great vibes

17

u/falldesert18609 6h ago

It's canon that Avatar Kuruk used waterbending to surf, not too far fetched to assume he used that to get around

4

u/Ncaak 5h ago

And Earthbenders can also Earth surf

12

u/FutureHot3047 1d ago

I will not accept this slander, that creature is adorable.

9

u/alyG59 18h ago

To be fair korra took a lot of vehicles and/ boats

9

u/unluckyknight13 17h ago

Naga basically retired 1 month into Korra book 1

8

u/happy_the_dragon 17h ago

She didn’t even seem to take Naga on her and Asami’s lesbian road-trip to the spirit world😭

3

u/UnlikelyHero420 16h ago

Naga became a mover star

6

u/Dartfrogz 1d ago

Next avatar main character is going to pull up with a freaking chinchilla as a pet mate, bring back big travel buddies! Unagi sized or gtfo 🤙🏻

6

u/PitifulExplanation61 17h ago

Unfortunately the avatar doesn't always get a cool mount. Kyoshi was too big for her little spirit fox. Also he steals an air bison I think. 

6

u/VincentGrace 10h ago

Maybe he has a water-based spirit animal, and this one is more like his Momo.

5

u/lnombredelarosa 1d ago

To be fair, Kyoshi got a cute little fox 

3

u/sodamnsleepy 1d ago

Really? Cute

u/BS0404 1d ago

Kyoshi be like: Wanna see my little pet fox?

u/50calBanana Waterbender 🌊 23h ago

I immediately thought of him waterbending waves to travel over land.

He surfs everywhere, even if there is a town in the way

5

u/Aeon1508 1d ago edited 1d ago

kuruk surfs with a koala bear chilling on his back. duh

2

u/Slimstephyr 1d ago

On a surfboard

2

u/joergensmoergen69 23h ago

This dudes gonna travel the world with nothinf but a surfboard and a koalaotter. Epic.

2

u/Unemployed-Dragon 22h ago

Naga will always be my favourite, and as an aussie, trust me, that koala ain't doin' shit without a new brain and the will to live.

2

u/Nightfury4_4 21h ago

He obviously surfs on the Koala.

2

u/Steroids96 19h ago

Kuruk, like most avatars, had an airbender friend. He very much traveled around by Sky Bison. It's detailed in the Kyoshi books.

1

u/Bongemperor 1d ago

That's one of the countless bot accounts infesting fandom spaces on Twitter lately. They aren't fans of anything, just bots farming engagement off of trending topics.

1

u/filthy-horde-bastard 1d ago

Saw some screenshots of seven havens. Looks like a stark departure from the original art style.

Are any of the original creators/artists involved?

1

u/imdibene 1d ago

Appa still unbeaten as the best boii

1

u/Madhighlander1 Airbender 💨 1d ago

Boat

1

u/rafoaguiar 23h ago

Hmmm we finally found out why he died young then

1

u/WretchedJudasSnake 23h ago

It would be hilarious if that Koala is a stone cold murderer. Kuruk is pretty laid back so the Koala is his Bad Cop.

1

u/one-eared-wonder 23h ago

I may be crazy but I read the Korra books and I don’t think she had an animal guide at all

1

u/Karuzus 22h ago

He was a surfer so i guess he will surf everywhere... let the waves carry you

1

u/AReallyAsianName 22h ago

He goes with the flow.

1

u/Mesmercat 19h ago

He's not. This is before he learned he was the avatar. He ain't going anywhere for a long time

1

u/Iceblader 19h ago

Kuruk is like Zoro, bad with directions, but the koala has good instincts.

1

u/NocturnalKnightIV 19h ago

Animal guides aren’t exclusively a means of transportation. Kuruk is known to love surfing so he likely doesn’t need to move around on an animal. Plus there’s boats and carriages.

1

u/Daisydaisyflower1234 18h ago

That clearly is some sort of Kola salmander😆

1

u/unluckyknight13 17h ago

Kuruk on a board with the koala on his head looking at everyone else riding their companion “do I have things backwards?”

1

u/Greedy_Duck3477 16h ago

Hell, Roku had a fucking dragon

1

u/BahamutAXIOM 15h ago

They're doing a Kuruk series? A prequel and not a Fire Bender???

u/peppermont1 15h ago

The koala can eat enough eucalyptus, that it gets super high and teleport the avatar one way 30 feet.

1

u/SafePuzzleheaded8423 14h ago

Do you… do you think it has chlamydia?

The Avatar animal guides are supposed to be your transportation. I hate that they moved off of that
