Many Tipani apprentices wear a special helmet, which is essentially a long strand of leather wrapped around animal or insect shells to hold them in place. These protective bonnets are used during preliminary training apprentices must face without the aid of an elder. While the Na'vi do not fear, wise elders ask the young to wear helmets when attempting difficult maneuvers. Most obviously, their function is a form of protection, but the helmet also trains clarity and confidence of mind. The spirits of long-lost animals whisper through the shell into the psyche of the warrior in training to empower moves while creating an inner sense of calm.[1]
Trivia[]
- In James Cameron's Avatar: The Game, the karyu and nawma ni'awve sets of armor, worn by hunters and spiritualists respectively,[2] also utilize helmets, although they have a different appearance.
