Dragons!!!

[zutarafan53]

Where the dragons that Roku and Sozin had in THE AVATAR AND THE FIRELORD the same ones that Aang and Zuko encountered in THE FIREBENDING MASTERS?
I've just been wondering ever since i saw these episodes.
Another interesting thing is if they were the same dragons Aang would be dancing with Roku's and Zuko with Sozin's.
Anywho if anyone knows the answer feel free to reply.

no, i dont think so
because in the Avatar and the Firelord, you see Roku's dragon 'Fang' perish with him under the volcanos pyroclastic flow which covered Roku's home island. As for Sozin's dragon, I doubt it will have been one of the pair, and if i remember rightly off the top of my head, it was a different coloured dragon from the two in TFB.
Would have been interesting if Sozins dragon was one of those however. :)

Yep, Scotty pretty much nailed it. They are just another dragons that happen to be blue and red. You know, because those are common dragon colors. And eeeven if that was Sozin's dragon, it would be more than a hundred years old, and I don't think dragons can live that long, even for imaginary cartoon animals.

If I had a dragon i would name him Fallen.

[Tobias]

why fallen? It sounds like your dragon is dead or injured. If I had a dragon i would name him etheir Drago or Horn.

Heh, if I had a dragon, I would totally name him Mnemeth. That is a very ancient and noble name for a dragon.

But as per the original discussion, we don't know that Fang died. Dragons might be able to survive immersion in lava. Who knows? The dragon that Zuko dances with is most definitely not Sozin's dragon because the facial structure is totally wrong. Also, the two dragons the danced with Aang and Zuko were named Ran and Shao, though it is not known which one was which. Ran and Shao also had different facial features than either Fang or Sozin's dragon. The firebending masters had fur of some sort framing their faces and two, fairly simple horns while Sozin's dragon had no fur and complex, branching horns with fin-like ears.

Hope that anyone out there who reads this finds it helpful.

It would make sense that Fang died, because he appears only in the Spirit World. I doubt even dragons would be able to survive a pyroclastic flow, despite being pretty mystical. It is fair to say they exist much like any other creature in the Avatar universe. If Firebenders could slay dragons, then the volcano almost certainly would have consumed Fang along with Roku.
