* ScienceImitatesArt: ''Ikrandraco'' is a genus of pterosaur named after the Ikran, a dragon-like flying alien that the Na'vi use as a mount. The pterosaur has a similar crest on the end of its lower jaw as the fictional creature (unlike most crested pterosaurs, which either have a crest on top of the skull or on both upper and lower jaws).

* TrendKiller: ''Avatar'' is widely credited by analysts with ending the dominance of film stock in the motion picture industry. Shooting on film had been commonplace for over a century, mostly due to the lack of viable competition, but even after professional-quality digital cameras rose to prominence in the late '90s and early 2000s, most directors and studios stuck with film. ''Avatar'', meanwhile, used digital video to facilitate its 3D display and copious use of CGI, and its skyscraping success resulted in the rest of the movie industry quickly adopting the technology as well. Over a decade later, usage of film stock for new projects is limited to much smaller niches, with digital cameras overwhelming them in prominence.
