In the 22nd century, humans came to discover Pandora during a search for resources to save Earth from dying.

With his new body, he can explore the Na'Vi's strange and mysterious world. As he ventures into the Na'Vi world, he finds a beautiful Na'Vi princess, Neytiri, and he falls in love with her and agrees to help the Na'Vi, as he helps them he starts a war that he must survive to save Pandora and Earth.
Overview
Biology
In appearance, the Na'vi were a race of tall ten feet tall humanoids with a blue skin and a tail with four digits on their hands.
One aspect of their body was a neural queue (Na'vi name: tswin) that were an external bundle of nerve endings that were protected inside of a braid of hair. It allowed the Na'vi to tap into the collective and planetary psionic emanations of Eywa that also allowed them to commune with the flora as well as fauna of their home. This allowed them to also communicate telepathically with the giant trees of Pandora and any animal who possessed similar nerve clusters. Connections were referred to as the tsaheylu (Na'vi: The Bond). The bonding of the two nerve clusters allowed them to share memories and information.
Society
As a people, they were noted for being excellent hunters and warriors that were skilled in surviving in the harsh environment of their homeworld.
The Na'vi monogamous creatures who mated for life.
Using 'the bond', they could mind-meld with a mount allow them to control the movements of the beast.
An important figure within the Na'vi communities was the Tsahik who operated as a spiritual leader of the tribe. They were said to be responsible for interpreting the will of Eywa.
A Na'vi tribe often made their camps by the massive Hometrees that doted Pandora's surface.
Among their people, the Anurai Necklace was a symbol of friendship among the clan.
Those that rode a banshee wore the Rider's Mask that was a piece of eye-protection used during flight.
It was noted that they were fond of dipping their arrows in a neurotoxin capable of stopping a human heart in one minute.
