Terra Team

"earth"

- ...an elite platoon of earthbenders called the Terra Team.

The Terra Team was an elite platoon of earthbenders under the command of General Sung with the responsibility of defending the Outer Wall of Ba Sing Se. They are a capable group, organized and coordinated in their actions. They wear uniforms similar to those worn by regular earthbenders, but with different colored helmets and armor.

History
The Terra Team attempted to stop the Fire Nation drill from penetrating the Outer Wall of Ba Sing Se. While they easily eliminated a small number of tank escorts, they were in turn easily defeated by Mai and Ty Lee. When Katara examined a Terra Team member after his failed attempt to stop the drill, she noticed that the member's chi flow was completely blocked, courtesy of Ty Lee.

Name

 * In Latin and some Latin-derived languages, terra means earth and is used as the name of the Roman Earth goddess. In other Latin-derived languages, the word is still very similar.

Trivia

 * In the Swedish series of Avatar: The Last Airbender, General Sung incorrectly says "Terror Team" ("Terror Teamet" in Swedish) instead of "Terra Team".
