Earthbending is a fictional martial art and elemental manipulation technique from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Practiced by the Earth Kingdom inhabitants, it allows users to control and manipulate earth and rock. Earthbenders can create walls, move boulders, and even shape the ground beneath them. The practice of earthbending is based on the principles of stability and strength, reflecting the solid nature of earth. Skilled earthbenders can also use their abilities for defensive and offensive purposes, making it a versatile form of combat. Notable earthbenders include Toph Beifong, a blind but exceptionally talented character in the series.
