rdfs:comment
  • Fan Lizards, aka Winged Fan Lizards, are small nocturnal creatures that inhabit Pandora.
  • Fan lizards (kenten to the Na'vi) are small nocturnal creatures that live on Pandora. The fan lizard is a favorite among the young Na'vi who cherish this natural spectacle. At every opportunity, a Na'vi child will run through a field of ferns to disturb a group of resting fan lizards, and then marvel as the luminous magenta and purple discs float to the safety of a nearby branch. In the Pandoran twilight, this shimmering flight is strangely alien to the Na'vi.

abstract
  • Fan Lizards, aka Winged Fan Lizards, are small nocturnal creatures that inhabit Pandora.
  • Fan lizards (kenten to the Na'vi) are small nocturnal creatures that live on Pandora. The fan lizard is a favorite among the young Na'vi who cherish this natural spectacle. At every opportunity, a Na'vi child will run through a field of ferns to disturb a group of resting fan lizards, and then marvel as the luminous magenta and purple discs float to the safety of a nearby branch. In the Pandoran twilight, this shimmering flight is strangely alien to the Na'vi. An ancient dance (usually performed by the children) celebrates the lizard. Two dancers stand side by side to create a rigid "spine." Another group of children run by and taunt the pair, at which point the entwined dancers "unfurl" into a circular shape and "float" in a zig-zag pattern through the other dancers. This is usually accompanied by hufwe, or wind instruments.
