Origin

Melon Lord appeared in the episode Sozin's Comet, Part 1: The Phoenix King, which is the 18th episode of the series' final season. It premiered on July 19, 2008.[1] Aang and company practices on taking down the Firelord, the main antagonist of the series, which is represented by a makeshift dummy with a melon for a head. Toph is assigned as the enemy force to prevent Aang and the rest of his friends from getting to the dummy during the practice. Toph then gets carried away during training and declares 'I am not Toph, I am Melon Lord!"
