The Lion-Turtles

When Aang grew angry when it seemed he would have to kill the Fire Lord, he disappeared onto a mysterious island which even his past lives could not recognize. When he asks his coast lives for guidance they say he must be decisive, give justice, and more things that boiled down to one thing: Execution. Then he finds out that the island is a giant lion- turtle. It gives him wisdom and introduces a new technique, Energy bending, which gives Aang the power to take Ozai's bending, to avoid killing him.

In The Legend Of Korra, the Lion-Turtles are introduced as the source of all bending, conflicting with ATLA's claim that the original benders and source of bending was: The moon, Badger moles, dragons, and sky bison. The turtles would give bending to humans venturing into the Spirit World, and take it back upon their return.
