    I've never understood why Aang has the arrows on his head. I know he's the avatar blah blah blah. But he didn't know he was, so wouldn't that be a giveaway? And if it was a normal thing, why didn't the other monks have them? AND none of the previous avatar's had arrows. I'm so confused. I love the arrows, I just don't get them.

    The arrows are nothing to do with being the Avatar, they're to do with being an airbender. All of the elder monks had arrows, because the arrows are a symbol that he's mastered airbending. Every master of airbending has an arrow.

    They have, but it's more of an Air Nomad culture. So even if Roku mastered airbending, him not being an Air Nomad he would not get the tattoos.

    I think you misunderstood. All I said was that the arrows wasn't an Avatar thing, but an Air Nomad thing. Avatars still mastered airbending.

    What about that large sea serpent in The Serpent's Pass? It can be disputed if it was spitting water or waterbending, but I'd say they'd make a good animal guild for traversing over large bodies of water.

    Since Avatar doesn't take place in our world it's safe to assume they don't follow the same calendar as us, so there is no answer to that question.

    so do you like pull into port and dock the serpent then walk

    that would kinda suck
