Earth Family - Yord Ut

Mammoth: G'rodrim

meaning 'Earth-stomper'

Mammoths are strong, deliberate, and capable of long journeys. Mammoths were once a crucial animal to ancient ogres. Ogres hearded them, rode them, and befriended them. They provided hides, meat, and tusks for weapons and tools. Mammoths were also used in war. In legend both Utezni and U'vatok'na the great ogre chieftain both had mammoth mounts. Mammoths were further revered for their size and earth shaking power. Mammoth's extinction has led to the general population decline of ogres.

The mammoth was also a mystic animal with incredible magical power and is the main totem of Utezni. Ogres who receive the mammoth totem are heavily attuned to earth and Utezni. They are strong, stable, wise, good laborers, and dominating warriors but when enraged can show the same destructive power as a earthquake. The mammoth can be associated with warriors, chieftains, and shaman.

Bison

The bison is very similar to the mammoth. To this day bison are used by ogres for food, hides but their ornery temperament make them difficult companions. The bison is also more associated with healing and medicinal magic rather than mysticism. Because of their temperament and close association with healing, the bison represents the earthen element of Una. Those who are guided by the bison are likely to be temperamental but wise. They are also strong warriors and fiercely defensive of those close to them. Bison are also common totems of shaman and healers.

Bear: Thung

meaning 'heavy'

The bear is a deliberate planner, powerful warrior, and a protector. The bear is the most level minded of the warrior totems and the warriors that are guided by them reflect these traits. Warriors, hunters, and chieftains can be guided by the bear and are associated with Ugangi.
