Fire lion turtle

The firebending lion turtle was a lion turtle that possessed the ability to bestow firebending to people.

History
This lion turtle possessed a city on its back around 10,000 ASC. This city was ruled by the Chu brothers, who were very wealthy as opposed to the majority of the city. The lion turtle would grant the ability to firebend to anybody who left the town to collect food, then take it back when they returned to the city.

When Wan was banished, he was granted the ability to firebend by this turtle. Inspired by Wan surviving Spirit Wilds, many other people living in the city left and started their own city outside of the lion turtle, using the ability to firebend After Wan merged with Raava, the lion turtle and the rest of its species decided that they would no longer grant people the ability to bend.

Thousands of years later, this lion turtle was killed when all of its kind was hunted to extinction.
