Thanks to their enormous wingspan, stormgliders can soar to incredible heights on the back of updraft winds and glide for extended periods of time. Due to its massive size, a stormglider lacks the agility to manoeuvre through the air with precision. However, when it spots an enticing meal on the ground, it will dive swiftly, knocking it down before stinging it with its toxic and sharp barbed tail. It is not uncommon for stormgliders to confuse rovers for prey due to their lack of intelligence.
Once a stormglider has stung its prey, it will try to sling it to a high ledge because it is so defenceless when it is on the ground. When their meal is too large to carry, they will devour it while protecting it with their tail from any potential predators.
As solitary creatures, stormgliders only stay in couples for as long as it takes to rear their young. One of the most perilous things to meet in Pandora's wilderness is a pair of stormgliders hunting together.
The young Zeswa put their courage to the test by competing in a race over wide terrain while a huge kite shaped like a Hammerhead flies overhead. Stormgliders, according to legend, frequently swoop down and capture kites-and occasionally the Na'vi pilots who soar them. With the assurance that this has never transpired, the Zeswa parents are pleased to let their children play.
