Flying bison (Earth-1529)

"A sky bison is a companion for life."

- - Sister Iio to Air Nomad children

The flying bison, also known as sky bison and air bison, are a species of critically endangered flying animals who once lived in the air temples alongside the Air Nomad shinobi sect. Appa, Naruto Uzumaki's animal guide, is the most well known flying bison and the primary means of long-distance transportation of Team Kakashi. The last remaning flying bison live in the Land of Fire, where they are raised and tended by the Bhanti Clan.
