Na'Vi hunting

[Toruk Makto]

Ease up, folks...

The ASG isn't always 100% correct, either.

[Col Quaritch]

This topic title is completely misleading theres nothing in here at all about hunting Na'vi, very very disappointed.

[Tsuksìm atsawl (KaPTan)]

Not to be offensive or such but you raelly didn't need to point that out. All Topic Threads end this way eventually; with Off-topic posts. After all one thing can relate to many.

excuse me then.

The ASG is quite explicit in stating that there is a smaller forest specices of Banshee. Only the Mountain species is large enough to ride. Which explains why only certain tribes have the rites of the Iknimaya.

I don't understand the phrase "to become taronyu, hunter...", because taronyu means hunter, so if he's already a hunter, why should he become a hunter?

I think in that scene Neytiri is simply explaining the meaning of the word. You're right, the sentence wouldn't make much sense otherwise...

Also, there are mountains around that they can fly around and hunt. If you notice in the movie that Jake and Neytiri hunt along a cliff face, so it's most possible to spot an animal and shoot it with an arrow while flying by. Then they just have to turn around, land, pick up the dead animal and leave. They could also try to fly through the forest and hunt, but I think you have to super good at multitasking from aiming and shooting, and avoiding trees at the same time.

Kaltxì,
Whilst reading through this topic, I was thinking what Pandoran Animal I would most want to eat.
Answer? Oh, that Pig-like thing which is described on James Camerons Avater: The Game as the Perfect Prey. The Name escapes me. Maybe Viperwolves, Nasty little things!

Sturmbeast I think? And they're supposed to be pretty big (larger than American buffalo compared to a person when compared to a Na'vi)

Forest banshees? WTF do you find that?(obviously in the forest, I mean where did you get the term?)

Forest banshee vs. Mountain banshee comes from the Avatar survival guide and is in Pandorapedia.

This smaller cousin to the mountain banshee is also a feared predator. But it lacks the size to accommodate and bond with a Na'vi rider.

Forest banshees usually hunt alone, but can migrate in large flocks spread out in a wide, loose pattern. (The reason for this behavior is not well-understood.) Like a Terran reef shark, the forest banshee may size up potential large prey, but seldom attack anything close to its size, preferring smaller forest animals. A banshee will make an exception, however, in the case of self-defense or when there is a large prey in distress. Then, also like sharks, banshees will congregate to feed, and if necessary will fight each other for their portion

You're referring to the Tapirus, I think, the only pig like thing is the Tapirus. I've not played the game so I'm not sure, but I think that's what you're referring to.

On topic: The whole, Taronyu thing is quite confusing. Because no one can agree what it is, I believe it is both the rite to become a man/warrior of the clan, and a honorable hunter.
On the subject of the jungle being to tight to hunt in, remember that scene with the toruk? they dived into the forest and maneuvered through it very gracefully. Also, when you have an Ikran, you're now using a much larger and more powerful bow. Used for taking down Sturmbeasts and the like. I believe also that if you get a dive on it, you can take down a Titanothere. For all you gun enthusiasts, arrows [in general, no sniper's here] have more penetrating power than bullets. So even though Jakes assault rifle couldn't penatrate, perhaps with the speed of the Ikran, the bow, and gravity, would allow the penetration. Kxawm. So, from my opinion. Ikran hunting would be more difficult, but the rewards greater.

Also, Truro, you beat me to the pandorabedia. 

Eywa ayngahu!
