Foo Foo Cuddlypoops

"earth"

- You're awfully cute, but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat.

Foo Foo Cuddlypoops was a young saber-tooth moose lion that Sokka named and befriended while trapped in a fissure.

History
Originally, Sokka was trying to hunt and kill this saber-tooth moose lion cub for food, but when he jumped down to deliver his stab, the animal hurled out of the way, causing Sokka to sink into a crack in the earth. The cub had a natural curiosity toward Sokka, who tried again to capture it. This second sudden movement caused him to sink even further into the earth to the point where he could barely move a muscle. Sokka continually tried to get out, and through that, Foo Foo Cuddlypoops strutted around him, slept on his head, played with his warrior's wolf tail and even gave him an apple.

Sokka talked to Foo Foo Cuddlypoops as if the latter understood him, and it seemed as though he really did. Sokka explained to Foo Foo that all he had was meat and sarcasm, which he also said to the universe, or "karma, or whoever's in charge of this stuff", hoping that one of them would listen and get him out of his uncomfortable situation.



Hours later, when Aang found Sokka lodged in that crack, Foo Foo strutted toward him, and Sokka introduced Foo Foo to Aang as his friend, calling him "Foo Foo Cuddlypoops" for the first time. Aang immediately recognized Foo Foo Cuddlypoops as a baby saber-tooth moose lion, much to Sokka's surprise. Just then, Foo Foo's mother stormed in to see that Aang was holding her baby. Aang quickly released Foo Foo, who ran happily toward his mother.

The mother then charged Aang, who had no other choice than to stand his ground due to Sokka still being lodged in the fissure. He eventually managed to drive the mother away by facing her head on and blowing her back with his airbending. Moments later, Toph showed up, applauding Aang's courage in holding his ground, and told him to earthbend, which he did. Sokka was finally freed by Toph after being trapped for the whole day. In the end, Foo Foo Cuddlypoops left with his mother.

Anatomy
Being a baby saber-tooth moose lion, Foo Foo Cuddlypoops was brown furred, with small stubs of antlers that were not developed yet. He had small, barely sharp teeth, with pure, black pupils. He was cute, as said by Sokka, and walked on all four paws, making him a quadruped. This baby animal was comparable in size to a small dog. He also looked distantly like a hippopotamus.
