Owls, and Carribou can easily be reskinned Eagles and Elks.Otaku-sempai wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2018 10:31 pmNot a bad suggestion, though the totems should be limited to creatures that would reasonably be found in the local area (unless members of the Culture are recent immigrants). I would only expect to see a Tiger Totem Warrior as part of a Culture with ties to the East. But I also have lions in the Blue Mountains.Majestic wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2018 9:38 pmWhen you're considering potential totems, all, you might consider the ones from other books, too (I think they're in Volo's), like the tiger and elk.
Recently I was considering potential animal totems for the Lossoth:
- Bear
- Caribou
- Cave bear
- Eagle
- Elk
- Fox
- Great elk (Irish elk)
- Giant Owl
- Lynx
- Woolly oliphaunt (Mammoth)
- Narwhal
- Orca
- Owl
- Polar bear
- Salmon
- Seal
- Walrus
- Wolf
I considered woolly rhinoceros, but I've rejected it. The same for the hill lions I placed in the Blue Mountains.
Likewise I've found in my 5e game that mixing and matching Totems can be a great way of to make new animal totems. like Elk, Eagle, Eagle makes a good Griffin, or Bear, Bear, Elk makes a good Elephant/Mammoth.
