Jennamite, also known as creeping crystal, is a mineral that grows at remarkably fast speeds. Though it can be dangerous, it also serves as a delectable snack, considering that it is made of rock candy.^[1][2]

The crystal is usually fashioned into rings to be placed over a person's finger, where it reacts to the body and starts growing, encasing the wearer of the ring. If not removed timely, the wearer could die from suffocation once the crystal has expanded enough to cover the entire body.^[2]

History Edit

In order to force Avatar Aang to complete his three challenges, King Bumi slid a jennamite ring on Katara and Sokka's finger, where the crystal immediately started reacting to the body. By the time Aang successfully passed all three challenges, the crystal was already threatening to engulf the siblings completely. However, Bumi shattered it before it could cut off their air supply, and casually started eating one of the pieces.^[2]

During the Day of Black Sun, Bumi snacked on a piece of jennamite after liberating Omashu from the Fire Nation occupiers.^[3]

Trivia Edit

• Jennamite was named after Nickelodeon executive Jenna Luttrell.^[4]
• The only place in which jennamite is known to be available is the city of Omashu.
• King Bumi was the only character ever seen eating jennamite.^[2][3]
