A Woodsprite (Na'vi name: Atokirina') is a seed of the Tree of Souls that lives on Pandora. They are similar in appearance to small deep-sea jellyfish, but they float on the wind like dandelion seeds, possibly aided in this by the denser atmosphere on Pandora. Woodsprites also hold ritual and spiritual importance. These seeds, according to the Na'vi, are very pure and sacred spirits and are believed to be auspicious wheresoever they choose to rest. The Omaticaya Clan plants one of these seeds with the body of a deceased Na'vi, so the Na'vi's consciousness will become part of Eywa. In Avatar, many woodsprites lay on Jake Sully, resulting Neytiri to take him to the clan because she interpreted this event as a sign from Eywa. They often gather in areas of mythological importance, such as the Cavern of Songs.
