Lefty

Lefty is a baby sky bison currently belonging to Kai. He became Kai's animal guide following the attack on the Northern Air Temple by the Red Lotus.

History

Lefty found Kai, hanging upside down from a tree, unconscious, and woke him up by licking him on the face. The young airbender quickly freed himself, mounted the young calf, thanked him for waking him up, and commanded him to fly back to the Air Temple.

The two of them witnessed the other airbenders being transported from the air temple to a nearby cave. Knowing he couldn't defeat the guards on his own, they went back to the temple to loom for help. They came across Mako, Bolin, Asami and Tenzin who were stuck in a hole after Bolin had lavabent them to safety. Kai offered to let everyone ride Lefty and they all reached the surviving metal clan members, albeit with a very rocky landing.

After revealing the airbender's and Korra's location, Kai mounted Lefty and they guided the other members of Team Avatar to the prison cave. It is here where Kai first addresses him as 'Lefty'. Upon entering the cave, Kai dispatched Lefty who stayed alongside Tenzin and Oogi while the others rescued the airbenders. Upon seeing Korra struggle to fight Zaheer, Kai offered to catch Korra while riding Lefty, but this idea was ignored.

Abilities

Despite being a baby sky bison, Lefty is already capable of flight, and is very obediant, as he understood Kai's commands. He is also very strong, capable of carrying Kai, Tenzin, Mako, Bolin and Asami and landing without injury.
