Avatar: Druk's Origin Story Explained
Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
If one thing never gets out of style, its dragons. While the Fire Nation under Fire Lord Sozin’s reign have almost brought the species to extinction, The Legend of Korra confirms that after Ran and Shaw, they succeeded in continuing their lineage. Indeed, an older Fire Lord Zuko appears in Book 3: Change mounting a giant red dragon named Druk. While the comics are still ongoing, we have not yet quite reached the point where he met his lifelong friend.
Thanks to Uncle Iroh’s lie about slaying the very last dragon, Ran and Shaw kept living in secrecy with the Sun Warriors, and taught Aang and Zuko the Dancing Dragon technique, which helped Zuko in his journey towards redemption. We know that Zuko has a good relationship with those two dragons since they didn’t end up eating him and Aang. But what is the story being Druk? Where does he come from?
Four types of dragons were revealed in the Avatar Franchise so far: the white spirit dragon during Avatar Wan’s time, the green dragon met by Aang and his friend Kuzon in the comic Dragon Days, the red and blue dragon with Ran and Shaw.
In this video, I will explain Druk’s bloodline, his origin story, how he spent his childhood under Fire Lord Zuko’s protection at the sunny Ember Island location, and what it means for him to be a Thunder Dragon.
Now, press play, and let’s start exploring the Book of Dragons together.

My thought was the golden egg was druk ofcourse in the episode the sun warriors. And dragon egggs could only hatch with sozins comet. This explains why no new dragons are born the last 2 decades or so. And makes also sense. Dragons can live very long and become old. Just look at the sizes rhan and shaw are immense . After sozins comet and zuko becoming firelord. I think the sun warriors saw the egg hatching and were told.by rhan and shaw thet it would be great as a guide for zuko. Just as every firelord till sozin had one.

It's especially odd because Druk is a western style dragon save for its head, and Ran and Shaw are both Eastern style Dragons! As well as most other dragons in the series are depicted as the latter!
He implies that there hasn’t been a character to redirect natural lightning. Are we really not gonna talk about the fact that Iroh did exactly that and was shown doing so in this video
i really really really want to see an airbender do more "sound bending" i feel like it could be a specialized skill and refined as opposed to just being a loud speaker. shockwaves to block fire/water attacks? vibrations to obliterate boulders? maybe even ultra hearing? its evident airbenders know the potential....aang's silent jumps and that loud speaker moment in korra are just a couple examples of this.
Anyone else only just realize that zukos hairstyle is a direct symbol of his mindset... The "top knot" is their sign of honor... And thus his hair slowly changing shows that he slowly developed... Idk if it's a coincidence but if it's not... Wow
That gem that Aang and Zuko picked up Was probably Druks egg since it looked as tho it was a egg
for a second i thought the title read: "where zuko got his scar" and i was like "waah?"

I think I understand the colors of the dragon, the white dragon represents Airbending because it resides in the spirit world. Both the dragons and Airbenders have strong spiritual energies and connections. The green dragon represents Earthbending, residing in the mountains, they are grounded and don't fly as much as most other dragons have been seen to do, preferring the ground. The blue dragon represents Waterbending, its movements are fluid and flowing like water. And its flames are colorful, just like a colorful object being reflected in the waters. And last but not the least, the red dragon, representing Firebending. It attacks ferociously just like most Firebenders during the 100 year war. Also, in the scene where Aang and Zuko were in a flaming vortex, most of the normal Firebending colors come from the red dragon's side.
Iroh *did* control lightning from the sky at one point
Within chinese mythology Dragon colour can dictate age. Green (as far as im aware) is supposedly the youngest type but could well have been changed for the series.

True but Thunderbenders can still be a thing just but by the Airbenders as fire style technique
If Druk had control over thunder it would be sound based right? not exactly lightning based Druk could use the sound from his wings to create thunderclaps
So maybe I am confused... but he obviously came from one of the last two living dragons in the world.. right?
Druk is pronounced as "Dru-uk' or "Druu" not drug or drunk. Meaning Dragon/Thunder Dragon. They are the dragons of Tibetan & Bhutanese Mythology including regions influenced by Tibetan Culture (Sikkim & Ladakh).
Anyone else notice that Zuko's dragon looked very different from Ran & Chaw? It almost looks like a blend of an eastern dragon & western dragon, so perhaps it's the grandchild of Ran & Chaw. Perhaps their offspring had an egg with a western dragon.

Imagine a thunder dragon mounted by a water bender
You keep on referring to thunder as though it's a real thing like a tangible thing. Thunder is just the sound of the lightning breaking the sound barrier. unless you're using thunder as a concussionary device to generate sound at your enemy, That "sounds"(pun intended) more like a wind technique that can be combined with that of a fire bender who can conduct lightning. When lightning happens in the atmosphere thunder happens after it. Lightning is what brings the thunder. I have trouble identifying Thor as the God of thunder because unless it's really low atmospheric, like in Oklahoma, it doesn't necessarily cause any damage. It's just sound. Atmospherically low it can rattle or even shatter windows or do much like what a sonic boom from a jet can do. Lightning would be more of the element that Thor would be God of.
thunder dragon + thunder hammer + firebending + lightning bending = ULTIMATE POWER
Love your channel
As poetic as naming your lightning shooting dragon after a Tibetan thunder deity would be, Zuko was probably naming a hatchling, right?

10:55 How would the ability to bend lightning ever allow a dragon to fly at nearly light speed?? Bit of a reach if you ask me. Air resistance would shred anything at that speed in the atmosphere, and no creature's brain could ever control that speed. Not saying I don't want to see it happen, I'm just asking for some evidence for this point about dragons travelling at light speed lmao
What would happen if Korra learned to fire bending with the help of the dragons?
He got it from the ancient sun warriors

well i read that and comprehended it as: zuko got his dragon drink un TLOK
Thunder bow, essentially be Hank’s bow from Dungeons and Dragons ;)
The dragon can be related to ren and sone cause zuko and aang found a egg there ren or sone or how one of them are called is red and zukos egg was found were both dragons live togtheter also the green dragon egg from the comic is purple but there could be different types of dragon eggs but most likely he got it from the sun warriors place
Think of how cool it would Be If Zuko got druk in the episode the firebending masters (this might Be a vis idea :o )
Druk actually means "dragon" in my country and locally our country is called "drukyul" meaning "land of the thunder dragon". I was very surprised when i got these parts of the series. Also its pronounced "Druu" but yeah, we messed up with the spelling and now it sounds like "drug" or even "drunk" at times lol.

Mam,today i just realized what Iroh's explanation is.Separating the positive and negative energy...its basically usIng negative and positive charges to generate lightning
I’m guessing he hatched from that golden egg thing Zuko and Aang found in the sun warrior temple
This is just conjecture, but what if Zuko's dragon used its horns to conduct and amplify electricity, like a Jacob's Ladder, and discharged the lightning from its claws and the tip of its whip-like tail? This would ensure that the Dragon can always keep an eye on its adversary while delivering precise, electrical strikes. Wouldn't it? After all, lightning benders don't usually attack their opponents with their ears or eyebrows. There are those 3rd eye weirdos, but they're an exception
