Pandora is an exomoon within the fictional universe of Avatar, serving as the primary location of the franchise. Slightly smaller than Earth, Pandora is inhabited by native Na'vi and Tulkun, among many other species who call the planet home. Pandora is covered in dense bioluminescent forest, oceans and floating mountains. Appearing across different media, it first appeared as the setting of Avatar (2009) and its sequels, along with the video games Avatar: The Game (2009) and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (2023), various graphic novels, a stage show and a theme park. In the film series, Pandora is a source of a large amount of unobtainium present beneath the surface, which humanity from a future Earth attempt to exploit. In later movies, humanity shift their focus onto hunting the Tulkun, hosts to amrita, a substance that stops humans aging.
