Sangok

"water"

- Nice try, Pupil Sangok. A couple of more years and you might be ready to fight a sea sponge.

Pupil Sangok was an awkward teenager and one of Master Pakku's Waterbending students. He was not one of the best Waterbenders in his class and was often caught daydreaming, wishing he was off playing ice marbles rather than training. Katara and Sangok were matched up for a practice duel.

Judging by his expression at the start of the duel, Sangok evidently feared Katara's prodigious Waterbending abilities. The spar started when Sangok formed and hurled a sphere of snow at Katara, who easily melted it and repelled it back, freezing him, ending the match. Pakku sarcastically expressed his displeasure with Sangok's performance and unfroze him from his helpless condition.

It is unknown if Sangok participated in the defending of the Northern Water Tribe during the siege due to his lack of skill.

Trivia

 * The name "Sangok" literally translates as "Third Individual" in Chinese or what the production business calls Extra #3. The word 'sangok' could also be a variation of the Japanese word 'sango' for 'coral', which in fact goes well with Master Pakku's comment about him one day being ready to fight a sea sponge.
 * Master Pakku's comment about how Sangok could one day fight a sea sponge is probably a reference to Spongebob Squarepants, another popular show on Nickelodeon.
 * Sangok wishes he could play Ice Marbles instead of attending Pakku's classes.
 * Oddly, the bending technique Sangok used against Katara seems to be very similar to Earthbending.
