About
Melon Lord is the popular alter ego of Toph, a member of the Gaang from the 2005 American animated television show, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Despite appearing in the entire show for just one brief scene, Melon Lord gained notoriety, has been referenced and deviated upon, and even became the subject of cosplays, on the internet.
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!"
