Spider, whose real name is Miles Socorro, is a human boy born on Pandora and left behind when other humans returned to Earth.

3) Which oceanic Na’vi clan do the Sully family seek refuge with?
Correct Answer: Metkayina
The Metkayina are a reef-dwelling Na’vi clan who have evolved to live in harmony with Pandora’s oceans. Led by Tonowari and Ronal, they provide sanctuary to Jake and his family when they flee the RDA. The Metkayina culture, spiritual connection with marine life, and physical adaptations set them apart from the forest-dwelling Omatikaya clan.

4) What is the valuable substance extracted from the Tulkun in the film?
Correct Answer: Amrita
Amrita is a precious liquid harvested from the Tulkun, intelligent whale-like creatures sacred to the Metkayina. A single vial is said to halt human aging, making it even more valuable than Unobtanium from the first film. This exploitation of Pandora’s creatures echoes the franchise’s environmental themes and critiques of colonial greed.

5) Who serves as the main antagonist in The Way of Water?
Correct Answer: Colonel Quaritch (recombinant)
Colonel Miles Quaritch returns in the form of a “recombinant” — an avatar body implanted with his memories and personality. Driven by revenge against Jake Sully, Quaritch leads the RDA’s new offensive on Pandora. His complex relationship with Spider adds emotional layers to his otherwise militaristic persona.

6) What is the name of the large sea creatures bonded with by the Metkayina?
Correct Answer: Tulkun
The Tulkun are sentient marine beings revered by the Metkayina. Each Na’vi forms a lifelong bond with a specific Tulkun, much like the forest Na’vi bond with Ikran (banshees). Their intelligence, culture, and emotional depth elevate them beyond simple animals, portraying them as spiritual equals to the Na’vi themselves.

Correct Answer: Kiri
Kiri, born from Grace Augustine’s avatar body, exhibits a unique spiritual and biological connection to Eywa — the guiding force of all life on Pandora. Throughout the film, she displays unusual abilities, such as sensing Eywa’s presence and interacting with the planet’s biosystems in deeply intuitive ways. Her origins and connection to Eywa remain one of the franchise’s most intriguing mysteries.
