All four eyes are protected by lids and by transparent nictitating membranes, much like an eagle's eye. Brilliant shades of blue and purple, this mountain banshee echoes the beautiful colors of the glowing Pandoran Rainforest. Before guests depart Windtraders, Naturalists will encourage them to make a pledge to respect and protect the natural world on Pandora and back home on Earth.

Specially developed muscles attached to the breastbone allow for the powerful strokes needed to achieve lift.Unfortunately we cannot deliver to BFPO addresses and some large items are shipped directly from our suppliers who ship to the UK mainland only. Unlike most other creatures in Pandora they have only four limbs, all of which are modified into wings (unlike their cousin the great leonopteryx) which might suggest a life mainly in flight, only landing to feed their young. A successful iknimaya requires the Na’vi to connect with the banshee by joining their braid-like kuru to the neural link on the back of the banshee’s head.

With a magnetic feature which allows the banshee to sit on your shoulder, the soft toy comes complete with embroidered details. Though reptilian in appearance, the banshee has a bird-like metabolism which generates tremendous heat. Banshees are an important animal on Pandora, both as an animal in the ecosystem and as a cultural symbol to the Na’vi.

We love bringing to life stories from our attractions through creative and innovative product designs,” explained Cody. The steering vane under the banshee’s lower jaw and the feather-like fan at the tip of the tail provide additional turning authority for high performance aerobatics. Soaring on the back of one of these powerful winged creatures represents an important rite of passage for the Na’vi.

Once the bond is formed, the rider and their banshee take their first flight together, sealing and solidifying their bond.

All flying animals on Pandora, including banshees, are thought to have evolved from sea creatures because of their fish-like jaw structures. These form like the wings of a dragonfly, by the extrusion of a resin into the veins of a flexible membrane, which unfurls, then cures in the sun into a rigid transparent vane.

In the case of the Omatikaya clan, when a Na'vi is ready to tame their own banshee, most of the time accompanied by other hunters, they go on a hike to the Hallelujah Mountains, which takes them directly to the banshee's colony. Like the direhorse, a Na'vi can connect to a banshee through a neural interface that allows animal and rider to move with apparent effortlessness through the skies. Each interactive banshee includes three ranges of motion – mouth, head, and wings – that are controlled by hand.

I’m absolutely obsessed with not only them, but every animal of Pandora- the culture of the Na’vi, their way of life; it’s amazing.

So I walked to where I'm 98% sure I parked it(by a cliff where there are dead banshees, closer to the low torch than a corpse. Fly over the Hallelujah Mountains and navigate the waters of Pandora, with these mega figures of the spectacular creatures of this world. They are also part of one of the signature attractions, so it felt natural to feature them as a must-have souvenir from a visit to Pandora.
