Talk:Flying bison/@comment-146.171.254.96-20120612094930

As others have said I can't fathom how a 10-ton flying bison is the symbol of freedom o_O

I would've always imagined a bird-like creature to represent the air nomads, ones who could create powerful gusts of wind with their wings (see Pidgeot) and taught the earliest airbenders what it was to be free. They could've been roughly the same size as dragons to carry people everywhere....although I could see problems arising at times when the group was relaxing/napping in Appa's gigantic king-sized saddle, you wouldn't be able to fit such a saddle on the back of a bird since it won't have a flat back like Appa.
