Earth Family - Yord Ut
Mammoth: G'rodrim

Mammoths are strong, capable, 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.
