Beyda'amo to Able Ryder.

Beyda’amo is a powerful and respected Na'vi warrior whose grim persona and stern leadership have earned him a place of high regard within the Tipani clan. In addition to his formidable talents as a warrior and his uncompromising leadership skills, Beyda’amo is also a master banshee rider, unrivaled among the People for adeptness on his airborne mount. He wears the scars from wounds delivered by a Pandoran beast across his body like a badge of honor.

Biography

Beyda’amo has taken a hard line approach with humans. In the past however, he was quite open to human contact, even encouraging his mate, Marali, to attend the school and learn the language of the Sky People. Beyda’amo also received a book from René Harper written by the ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu.

However, the so-called "massacre" changed everything. Although Marali survived the attack, Beyda’amo has publicly vowed never to trust the humans again. Beyda’amo's actions represent a long dormant ideology in the Na’vi culture; a war‐like creed awoken by the human incursion into their lands. To him, the homeland must be defended and now is the time to fight.

He uses a club in combat and if playing on the Na'vi side he is said to enjoy "crushing Tawtute skulls".

Beyda’amo at Vayaha Village.

If the player chooses to side with the Na'vi, he is met at Vayaha Village. He is distrustful of Able Ryder, even after Ryder attempts to give him some flowers to gain his trust, as well as taming a banshee.

Upon traveling to Kxanìa Taw and attempting to collect the first shard, the RDA destroy it. Despite this, Ryder continues to assist the local Na'vi population but when attempting to collect the second shard, it is destroyed again by the RDA. Beyda'amo, growing increasingly impatient and aggressive towards Ryder, orders them to assist with the attack on the main local RDA base to capture the last of the three unobtanium shards. Upon invading the base and breaking through to the willow tree previously blocked off by RDA fences, Ryder tells Beyda'amo about the lack of the first two unobtanium shards. Beyda'amo responds aggressively, threatening to attack. Ryder stuns Beyda'amo by activating the willow tree without the shards. This confirms that Ryder is the Ni'awve Mokri, the First Voice. Beyda'amo then changes his behavior and begins to respect Ryder.

If the player chooses to side with the RDA, they eventually battle and Ryder kills Beyda'amo in Willow Tree, crippling the Na'vi's leadership in the FEBA. This allows the RDA's forces to gain the upper hand in the local area, pushing hard against the Na'vi and forcing them to withdraw.

Trivia

• Ryder calls him "Big B".
• Beyda'amo's name is not in line with the phonetic rules of the Na'vi language, specifically the dialect of forest-dwelling Na'vi, which does not have the letters "b" or "d".
• His character is similar to that of Tsu'tey: both are hardline Na'vi warriors who do not get on well with the human protagonist (Able Ryder and Jake Sully, respectively) but are later swayed by their actions.

Memorable quotes

• „You come from the sky, yet you cannot fly! You call yourself a rider, yet you cannot ride!“ - During Ryder's first banshee flight.
• „Spirit is all that matters. Your spirit is human. You will never be one of us.“ - To Ryder.
