Clam

The clam is an animal found in the Fire Nation, more specifically the Jang Hui River. It was consumed regularly by the residents of Jang Hui.
== History ==
In the latter stages of the Hundred Year War, a Fire Nation Army factory near Jang Hui began polluting the surrounding river with its sludge waste. This resulted in vast ecological damage to the surrounding area, including the clams.
Despite these changes, Xu still continued to sell these clams along with other mutated wildlife. A few of these creatures were presented to Team Avatar, who neglected buying them out of disgust.
A few years after the villagers of Jang Hui managed to clean up the pollution of their river, their clams dish and their seafood became famous throughout the Fire Nation. When Team Avatar was eating at a restaurant in the Fire Nation Capital, they were told that they came just in time for a special harvest of Jang Hui clams, which their server claimed to be "exceptionally plump, with hints of wakame brine and ocean kumquat".Avatar: The Last Airbender Cookbook: Official Recipes from the Four Nations, p. 115.
== Anatomy ==
Taken from the bottom of the filthy river bed, the clam is filled with a multitude of disgusting substances including dirt, seaweed, and dead bugs. It is a bivalved mollusk that is somewhat brown in color and has what appear to be blisters on its shells.
== Connection ==
The clam is a mollusk, an invertebrate animal whose body is protected by two symmetrical shells. It has no brain or eyes, but has a set of kidneys, a heart, a mouth, and an anus. It feeds on plankton, and its natural predators are small sharks and squid.
