Description

Pluropoda Saggitaria, casually known more simply as the Sagittaria, is a snail-like creature that shoots water out of its head through three tubes positioned there. Usually found in the same water is a big water bug, the Cerebellis Scapularis, which has a co-dependent relationship with the sagittaria (not pictured here, though!).

*********************

More details from Paul Frommer, the creator of the Na'vi language:

skuka (n., SKU.ka) ‘sagittaria’

Size: Average length of 1.2m
Anatomy: Cephalopod-like with 14 muscular tentacles, 10 radiating out from the underside of the body, primarily for locomotion, and four near the mouth for prey attraction and feeding. A large nautilus-like shell houses the body, which can retract fully for protection.
Ecology: A predator, this cephalopod-type creature has a hard exterior which is exposed to the air. Long tentacles float calmly in the water. The means of hunting prey, which mostly consists of small flying creatures, is highly specialized and unique.

These creatures are canon to James Cameron's Avatar universe, and are featured at Disney's Pandora: the World of Avatar. |FTU| .:Blue Pixel Heart:.
