<Li> June and Nyla are a pair of super-effective bounty hunters who travel the Earth Kingdom and were employed by Zuko in his search for Aang and later for Uncle Iroh . June (voiced by Jennifer Hale) hunts her prey with the help of her mount' Nyla', which is totally blind but possesses a heightened sense of smell . June is confident and self - assured, and possesses impressive physical strength . Nyla is a female Shirshu (an immense, musteline - like predator) who served as the mount and companion of the bounty hunter June . A characteristic of her species is that Nyla's tongue contains neurotoxins that temporarily paralyze an opponent / target . Also like other Shirshu, Nyla has no eyes and "sees" by her powerful scent receptors; a trait that backfired when it was utilized by a fleeing Sokka by tipping perfumes into Nyla's path to confuse her . </Li> <Li> Combustion Man, previously Sparky Sparky Boom Man (real name unknown, though it is implied that Zuko knows his name) appeared in Book Three as an assassin hired by Prince Zuko to kill Aang . His chief weapon is a unique method of Firebending allowing him to generate explosions from a third eye painted on his forehead, whereby he terrorizes the Avatar and his friends . He has no speaking parts and shows no mannerism except those suggesting a fierce attachment to his purpose . It is unknown if there is any connection between him and the Korra character P'Li, who demonstrated similar abilities . </Li> <Li> The Cabbage merchant (voiced by James Sie) is a character (never directly given a name) that appears occasionally throughout Book One and Book Two, used mainly for comic relief . The cabbage merchant was an Earth Kingdom salesman who repeatedly had his cabbages destroyed or damaged . His only speaking parts throughout the original series is to shout his catchphrase "My cabbages!": provoked first by the Earth kingdom city of Omashu's import control earthbenders; secondly by Aang and the Omashu mail delivery service; and again by Aang chased by pirates . In Book Two, his cabbages are spoilt by a' platypus - bear' at the Ba Sing Se ferry boat center and again by Aang when the latter relocates a zoo . In Book Three, "a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage", though never seen, supplies the story of a theatrical play mimicking, and in some scenes mocking, the protagonists' adventures . In the sequel series, another man named Lau Gan - Lan (also voiced by James Sie) runs a company named Cabbage Corp, founded by the Cabbage Merchant; Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift reveals that he became interested in machinery shortly after opening a cabbage - themed restaurant . </Li> <P> The characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender received praise from reviewers . Troy Island Mell, of IGN, felt that the story "would (not) be anywhere near as good as it is without its ability to create such strong characters". In particular, Mell enjoyed the development of Katara and Zuko throughout the first season, but thought that Zuko's relationship with his uncle was not "very organic ." Jamie S. Rich of DVDTalk generally agreed with Mell's assessment of the characters . Rich also praised the fact that, unlike many cartoon television series, Avatar introduces antagonists that have a deep backstory and "are (not) just evil for the sake of it". </P>
