Waterbenders are individuals who have the ability to manipulate water in various forms, including liquid, ice, and steam. This skill is part of the elemental bending arts in the fictional universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Waterbending is often associated with the Water Tribe, where practitioners learn to harness the flow and movement of water for various purposes, such as healing, combat, and transportation. Waterbenders draw their power from the moon, which enhances their abilities, especially during nighttime. They can create water whips, ice shields, and even control the tides. Advanced waterbenders can also learn to bloodbend, a controversial technique that allows them to manipulate the water within living beings.
