There was mention of a lion turtle being a creature that existed, but never anything about it being overly special?

It's shown briefly in the Spirit Library when Aang finds an illustation of one, and statues of it can be seen briefly at Master Piandao's castle (Piandao also comments that Sokka has a heart 'as big as a lion-turtle). S'bout it. I love this show to death, but this is about as clear-cut an example of deus-ex machina that you can find.

Funny thing is, plenty of people who wouldn't give a second thought about the lion turtle complain up and down about how (Legend of Korra spoilers) Korrasami 'came out of nowhere,' despite the latter having more instances of foreshadowing.
