The Spirit Tree (Na'vi name: Ranteng Utralti) is a sacred place of the Metkayina clan, located underwater in the center of the Cove of the Ancestors.
Description[]

This tree is the marine equivalent of the Tree of Souls. It is connected to the seabed by a dense network of roots containing neural connections, making it one of the most important points in Pandora's neural network as it allows one's consciousness to enter the Spirit World. For the Na'vi, this is associated with the strong presence of Eywa. The tree also provides oxygen for prolonged sessions underwater.[1]

Kiri suffers a seizure during her connection with the tree while having a vision of Grace Augustine's spirit within Eywa and according to Norm Spellman and Max Patel that plugging into the tree underwater became a trigger to Kiri and was never to do it anymore otherwise it could kill her if she seizes again while underwater. Later, after the Skirmish at the Three Brothers had ended and the held of the funeral of Neteyam had finished, Jake Sully and Neytiri visit the tree underwater with to connect with Neteyam's spirit.
Trivia[]
- The term "Spirit Tree" appears to be a general term among the Na'vi, since in Avatar: Reckoning, the Hulanta Clan and the Rey'tanu Clan are mentioned as having their own Spirit Tree.
