We’ve already known that Dee Bradley Baker (“Voice” of Momo and Appa + the majority of the other Avatar The Last Airbender Animals) was going to play a part in the upcoming Avatar The Legend of Korra series (Set to release Fall 2011).” And now we have heard a new tid-bit of information where Baker has mentioned that he will be voicing a new character, an actual person in addition to the animals presumably, and he also mentions that he will be voicing “Korra’s Animal” which probably means that (like many theorized) Korra will have an animal transport (Roku had a Dragon / Fang, Aang had a Sky Bison / Appa).

The character that Dee Bradley Baker will voice is anybodies guess, but people have definitely been speculating, the rumor with the most evidence is the idea of Korra’s animal guide being a “Polar Bear Dog”.” In the Avatar: The Last Airbender (The Art of the Animated Series) the creators mention that the Polar Bear Dog was one of their favorite creatures in ATLA but never really made it into the show, and that he would probably be seen in the future.” A good fit for Korra? Possibly.

I can’t wait to see what new characters we will see in this show! Animals most definitely included.
