Txopu to guests during Na'vi River Journey.

Txopu is a Na'vi from the Omatikaya clan. He is a sentry and guide who oversees guests during the Na'vi River Journey attraction at Pandora: The World of Avatar.

Biography

Na'vi River Journey

Txopu's first appearance was in Na'vi River Journey, where he greets guests with his mysterious presence. He is one of few physically rendered creatures in the park, along with the Shaman of Songs and in-vitro avatar seen in the Flight of Passage queue. Unlike the Shaman and avatar, Txopu is not an animatronic in the ride; his body is a sculpture that remains stationary, while his face is a computer animation projected onto the structure. This method of creating animated characters is used in other areas of Disneyworld and Disneyland, such as the singing busts found in the Haunted Mansion attraction.

Pandora Rising

Txopu was an unnamed character until being featured in the cancelled game Avatar: Pandora Rising. He was featured alongside the other theme park character, Valke.

Biography

In Avatar: Pandora Rising

"Alpha Centauri Expeditions founder Marshall Lamm knew that the serene Kapsavan River would be a perfect respite for guests as they explore the peaceful Valley of Mo'ara. Discussing the plans with The Shaman of the Songs, she suggested that Txopu, a noble and stoic Omatikaya sentry and guide, would be the perfect candidate to greet visitors as they make their way through the bioluminescent grotto and down the gently flowing river."

Trivia

• "Txopu" is the Na'vi word for "fear".
• In Na'vi River Journey, Txopu holds his bladder lantern in his right hand and keeps his sash draped over his left shoulder. In his Pandora Rising artwork, the positions are reversed.
• Like Valke, Txopu is a "character from the future", as the events of the theme park begin many years after the RDA's expulsion from Pandora.
