    Ask a Question, Get an Answer II No animal, they were taught by the Moon Spirit. Watch the season finale for that one. As for fire, yeah it sounds logical and all but lets face it, inherently,??until its revealed, anything's pretty much speculation. It could be dragons (assuming??it breaths fire and not sheng chi), the Sun Spirit or whatever (counter the Water Tribes'), or it could be some fire spirit thingie. Think Miyazaki.

    Yeah it puzzles me when I see guys with few posts high up in the ranks and others with tons of posts still low. What's up?

    But as for animals, it is said that the moon taught waterbending to people. It would be cooler if those penguins taught it. Then with dragons teaching firebending, we have the complete set!

    All the bendin??is based off actual martial arts styles and firebending (the coolest bending ever) is based off the Northern Xiolin Monk style. Sorry if I scared you with my FFs (fun facts).

    Actually it is Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. Your fun facts are funnily famous false freaky fool's facts.

    I got pretty high before I even started posting on this place. You can do it by blogging and giving reviews. Neither of which I've actually??done myself but still you'know.

    I believe that the waterbenders learned to waterbend from the moon. The firebenders learned to bend from the sun. This was seen in The Seige of the North Parts 1 and 2.

    plus in Bato of the water tribe he used the wolf howling as an example of how he felt.

    I think the term you are looking for is Spirit Guide. An Avatar's Spirit Guide is the animal that goes around with them and is a part of them (What the Guru said in "Appa's Lost Days"). Your Spirit Guide is dependent on what nation you are from. Air Avatars have Flying Bisons, Fire Avatars have Dragons, Earth Avatars presumably have Badgermoles, and we have not seen a large animal that identifies itself with the Water Tribe. I'm guessing for an animal to be the Spirit Guide it has to be large enough to be ridden. Also, other people besides the Avatar may have one of those animals, but that does not make it their Spirit Guide.

    I could be wrong about this and an Avatar's Spirit Guide might be any animal it has a connection to and not specific to any species, but I am more inclined to believe that there is an order.
