The great austrapede (Tsawltsping in Navi) is a bipedal, flightless, bird-like creature resembling the emu, ostrich, or the extinct Phorusrhacids that live in Pandoran savannah, and can be tamed and ridden as a mount by certain Navi clans. It has dark grey skin with blue-grey striping on its body and yellow markings on its wings, which it uses for threat displays and the long-clawed fingers at the ends for hunting and battling rivals. Great austrapedes stand slightly taller than their genetic cousin, the austrapede, and is a far more imposing creature overall. They first appear in the musical Toruk – The First Flight.
