Waterbending is a fictional martial art and elemental manipulation technique from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Practiced by the Water Tribe people, it allows users to control and manipulate water in various forms, including liquid, ice, and steam. Waterbenders can create waves, form ice shields, and even heal others using the energy of water. The practice of waterbending is deeply connected to the moon, which enhances a waterbender's abilities. Skilled waterbenders can also learn advanced techniques, such as bloodbending, which allows them to control the water within living beings. This art emphasizes adaptability and fluidity, reflecting the nature of water itself.
