Marui are pods built in the giant mangrove-like trees alongside the shores and are protected from crashing waves by giant reef barriers. They are the homes of Na'vi clans like the Metkayina or the Ta'unui.

Materials and Construction

Marui of the Metkayina Clan

The construction and manufacturing technique of the Marui resemble canopies. They are made of a flexible, tight and durable fabric, whose sheets are stretched between the roots and branches of the trees, as well as an auxiliary wooden frame, giving the dwelling its typical shape. These sheets form the floor, the ceiling and partly the walls, although the cabin remains largely open. Its size depends mainly on the size of the family that inhabits it, or on the function, since the marui can also be common rooms. The fabric and reinforcements are usually decorated, most often with individual motifs of the family that lives in it.^{[citation needed]}

Marui of the Omatikaya Clan

Marui are inhabited by clans whose members live in individual dwellings scattered over a larger area. They can be found in High Camp of the Omatikaya clan, and in coastal villages of the Eastern Sea like Awa'atlu, home of the Metkayina, and the Ta'unui clan's village where they are built on the roots of mangrove trees that grow along the shore.
