Character Profile: Momo

Momo was first found by Aang, Katara and Sokka at the Southern Air Temple when Aang returned after being in the ice for so many years. At first Sokka wanted to make him a meal since he was hungry. But Sokka changed his mind after Momo brought him some fruit.

Momo's kind used to fly around the Temple. Now, because of the attack, Momo was the last Flying Lemur left. Momo is able to fly by using large folds of skin hidden on his arms as wings. He has very good hearing and sense of smell and is very fast.

Momo can act a little silly most of the time, adding comic relief to the show. However, he is smarter than he looks and acts.

Momo means "Peach" in Japanese, and that was what Momo was eating then Aang named him.

Momo is the flying lemur who Aang, Katara, and Sokka find in Aang's old home, the Southern Air temple.

As all of the Avatar before him, Aang must have a sprit guide to help him in his journey as the Avatar. And this is Momo.

At first he is a little pain in the rump who steals all of Sokka's food and leads Aang on a wild chase to the bodies of the Air-Masters who raised him. Sokka dislikes him, but they achieve a truce-of sorts later in the series.
