## Key points

- Producers have not ruled out a link between the Anomaly and Vaatu.
- The Anomaly’s red form and fear connection echo the spirit of darkness.
- Its identity and any role for Vaatu remain unconfirmed.

## Summary

*Avatar: Seven Havens* producers have declined to rule out the theory that its mysterious Anomaly is connected to Vaatu, the spirit of darkness from *The Legend of Korra*. The resemblance could point to the return of a major franchise villain, but the producers’ comments are not confirmation.

The Anomaly is a red, diamond-shaped entity that seems to feed on fear and frighten people nearby, while encounters with it unlock buried memories for twins Pavi and Nisha. Vaatu also has red markings and is linked to chaos, but the article notes that he has a distinct personality and goal, while the Anomaly appears to act more mechanically. In *The Legend of Korra*, Vaatu’s spirit could regenerate inside Raava after his physical destruction; the article suggests the Cataclysm may have disrupted that process, though the Anomaly’s identity remains unknown.
