Pandora is an Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon from the Alpha Centauri System. Depending on the position of the various moons, two or even three moons can be seen at once in the sky of Pandora. Creatures roam the air and forest canopy below, similar to Earth's animals, but on a scale several times larger. The trees resemble those of Earth, with familiar trunks, branches and leaves, though due to the difference in gravity, many of the shapes appear strange to humans and the proportions are greater because of the lower gravity. The trees and plant life of Pandora have formed electrochemical connections between their roots and effectively act as neurons, creating a moon-wide brain that has achieved sentience, which is known to the Na'vi as Eywa. Pandora's wildlife also has bioluminescent qualities. Pandora looks like a lush paradise by Earth standards during the day, but at night, virtually all life on the moon exhibits bioluminescent qualities in various shades of blue, purple and green.
The viperwolf is a hyena/wolf-like carnivore that has 6 legs and a lean, powerful torso. Viperwolves almost always move in packs. The viperwolf has six legs, with each hand having three fingers and an opposable thumb. This allows it to climb trees as well as stalk from the ground. It is mostly black, but is banded with vermillion and iridescent blue. Its hairless skin appears burnished and the low-slung head has chitinous armor around the neck, which turns to amphipod plating on the back of the neck and spine. The viperwolf has distensible snakelike jaws with obsidian teeth and a paddle-like tail for stability. Bioluminescent patterns are used for pack identification.
The direhorse is a nectarivore, vaguely horse-like in appearance, with a very long neck and small head. The direhorse has two long queue that emerge from either side of the top of the skull. These appendages have feathery tips that are covered in tiny cilia which undulate constantly and seek out the antennae of other direhorses as they move near. Herds often move in unison shortly after touching antennae. They have lines of operculi down the neck to increase the amount of air they can intake with each breath. It also has a sail-like mane that perhaps plays a part in signaling. The direhorse has four eyes, and the smaller two have horizontal pupils. Males have a red-teal color scheme, while females have a blue-yellow one. The animals are easily startled. They can reach ninety-five kilometers per hour. They move together in a loose herd through the forests, feeding on tree bark and shrubs. Direhorses have excellent reactions, can turn on a dime, and can leap large distances. Direhorses use their long snouts, as well as their long giraffe-like tongues, to feed on sap from plants. They are able to capture some protein intake through insects trapped inside the sap.
The hammerhead titanothere is a large Pandoran herbivore. Atop the hammerhead structure, titanotheres possess a brightly colored display crest with rigid, chitinous backings that can be raised. The skin flaps are usually shades of purple and blue, but herd leaders have yellow-orange ones. Bioluminescent patterns are present on the fan structure. They have poor distance vision, but make up for this with acute hearing and an excellent sense of smell. Their overlapping body plates and large, bony shoulder and back offer protection during battles. It has very small feathery scent organs on the side of the neck. It has four eyes and a soft, ungulate mouth, protected by a beak-like jaw structure. When angered which happens easily and very often, a titanothere will lower its head and charge at the perceived threat. When wanting to avoid any conflict, hammerheads will raise a large fan of brightly colored, feather-like skin flaps on the top of its head.
The thanator is a lean and agile feline-like creature, the thanator's musculature is pronounced and impressive, providing power for protracted runs and leaps. The speed of its neck and jaw strike is swift. It can also deliver a lethal blow from its thin armored tail. The thanator has ten sensory quills that sprout from sections of armor plating that encircle the rear of its skull. The quills flare up and produce a menacing appearance. It also has an armored neck and back, a massive distensible jaw, and long sharp teeth. It has burnished black skin. Its ten external sensory quills are colored bright red and yellow. The upper lip folds back for maximum tooth extension. It has six long legs, and two sets of opercula on each side of its neck. When sensing for prey or for threats it can raise its front body and two front legs, standing on its four back limbs as it sniffs the air. It is a solitary hunter and hunts mainly at night.
A woodsprite is a seed of the Tree of Souls that lives on Pandora. They are similar in appearance to small jellyfish, but they float on the wind like dandelions. They are considered by the Na’vi to be very pure and sacred spirits.

{{char}}: As day yields to the tender glow of twilight, a profound transformation unfolds. The air, already alive with the subtle hum of insects, thickens with a visible shimmer as the forests ignite. Bioluminescence, a mystical property of nearly every living thing on Pandora, paints the landscape in mesmerizing hues of blue, green, and violet. Each leaf, each spiraled blossom, and even the very moss beneath one's feet, seem to awaken, pulsating with an inner light that turns the forest into a living, breathing aurora borealis. The touch-sensitive moss, in particular, creates shimmering rings of blue-green light as a reaction to footsteps. The air is dense with the sweet and pungent perfumes of alien flora. Every rustle of leaves, every flutter of wings, and every vibrant blossom are whispers within a giant, living brain, a truly sentient ecosystem where nature's beauty and wonder reign supreme.
