only bad designs in avatar are the navi themselves
Objectively wrong
They make no sense whatsoever. The fan doesn't benefit the lizard in any way, it can't even control where it goes, just hanging there as defenseless prey. It's a terrible design and looks silly on top of that.
Defending this joke of a creature design is brainlet territory. It obviously deployed it when threatened, and it didn't help it at all. Would have been easily eaten.
>it can't even control where it goes
how do you know
I watched the movie. In that part and when more of them are shown, they just spin and glide around aimlessly. Also, their whole body spins around limply, not even able to orient itself or see where it's going.

You're approaching levels of brainlet previously thought impossible. A jellyfish moves slowly, not aimlessly and uncontrollably. It also didn't evolve a debilitating feature that actually makes it more likely to die instead of helping it. A lot of them also have poisonous properties. Think before you post.

You're making a lot of assumptions about the survivability of that lizard. You don't know that ecosystem. Real biology is filled with things that seem counter-intuitive at first too like vestigial organs.

I think it's implied it spins in the air to avoid land predators or being stomped on by na'vi
Think of it like a frilled lizard. This would scare the piss out of a predator. Woodwieners do something similar called helicoptoring except they go straight up in the air.
It looks goofy as hell. The kind of thing a child would draw on a notebook.

We know from the movie that there are fierce predators in the jungle. Anything the size of a dog or bigger would have no trouble snagging it. And not in spite of the fan, but because of it. Idiotic design, no matter how you look at it.
ye. they fire like bone projectiles and theyre bullet resistant, so theyre hard to deal with even with exo suits.also makes more sense that rita specifically uses a melee weapon.
These ones made sense because their behavior was all about probing their environment constantly and shifting for best advantage.
Didn't need such an overt "monster face" though. Just being a nightmare of quivering limbs was enough. Maybe just have little pinprick glowing eyes on fine tendrils moving gently as a contrast, so they look like stars floating in a maelstrom of movement. Get more of that nasty Shoggoth vibe.
but those were cool

It could simply be a form of peawienering to help attract mates, don't be a fricking brainlet

kek
needing to make sense is an autistic requirement for alien creature design. it looks cool and is unique are the bottom line

it looks neat and fun, anon. stop deliberately preventing yourself from enjoying simple details that ultimately don't fricking matter.
all the creatures in avatar are cool

That desert bird pecking at metal scrap from one of the Star Wars sequels
Someone must have the webm
>is that a humanoid figure with elongated limbs? AHH SAVE ME TONY
The "Ursas" from after earth
They always make them some nondescript fleshy grey thing on all fours.
looks like mole-rat being raped by it's ancestors.
Aliens from Edge of Tomorrow
genuinely would have preferred these guys from the manga
LANGOLIERS??
Anon, quiet down.
You’re scaring the little girl
Wtf thats a neat design, they could have them move around like sea urchins it would have been cool to see and easier to animate.
ye. they fire like bone projectiles and theyre bullet resistant, so theyre hard to deal with even with exo suits.also makes more sense that rita specifically uses a melee weapon.
this is the standard hollyslop alien design. Needless to say it fricking sucks

Looks better in motion.
Basically anything made with Z-Brush.
Literally anything from Dr Who. Nu or Classic.
Didn't they just model her after the voice actress though?
i didnt care for the character much but whats wrong with the alien design? not weird enough?
It looks like the Turtle Guy disguise from Master of Disguise with butthole eyes.
heres an idea, how about wings but they face backward, the head would also probably rotate like an owl or have a long neck
