The head of the creature was found mounted on display in Wan Shi Tong's Library.[2]
History
In 100 AG, Team Avatar and Professor Zei visited Wan Shi Tong's Library searching for information on the Fire Nation. When they first arrived, they saw the wakrus yak's head hanging on display on one of the pillars of the building.[2]
Anatomy
The walrus yak has the snout and tusks of a walrus mixed with the ears, spiraled horns, and long fur of a yak. The rest of its body has not been seen.
The creature itself is large enough that its head is comparable in size to that of a spider cat. No eyes were visible on the creature's head at a glance. The walrus yak's long fur was white, suggesting origins in an arctic environment.
Connection
The walrus yak is a direct link between its two namesakes, the walrus and the yak. Its head displays the tusks, mouth, and nose of a walrus, and the horns and fur of the yak.
Trivia
- A similar looking mounted head was among the many curios on the pirate ship. The head floated down the river after the ship fell off a lagoon. However, as opposed to the walrus yak, this animal had brown fur.[3]
