Introduction
Central to every pack of werewolves is its totem, a
spirit that empowers the pack and connects them spiritu-
ally. Due the blessings and restrictions the totem imparts
onto the pack, it will color how the pack interacts with
the outside world, both mundane and spiritual. It will
shape their role in the Sept, how they deal with humans,
wolves, other Garou, and even potentially Fera, and it
will even affect how they fight the Wyrm.
mals. In fact, most totems would prefer such creatures be
destroyed as quickly as possible so as to contain the
spread of their corruption. Likewise, such bans should
generally not apply to humanely ending the suffering of a
seriously injured or sick animal, especially those who
injured or sick due to the actions of humans or the
Wyrm, such as animals poisoned by improper disposal of
hazardous waste or hit by a speeding car.

Animal Totems
Many totems representing powerful animal spirits un-
surprisingly have bans regarding harming their animal
children. Even totems that don’t include an expressed
ban on killing their mundane counterparts will likely take
great offense at the wanton killing or mistreatment of
these creatures, likely causing the pack to lose their pat-
ronage. This could also potentially extend to the exces-
sive killing of the species’ preferred prey as well or de-
struction of their habitat. These bans should never be
construed as to apply to the killing of Wyrm tainted ani-
Totems of Respect
Paragons of honor, Garou seeking to unity or
dominance among their kind often look to Totems of
Respect for patronage.

Digital Eye
Background Cost: 7
In this age of digital supremacy, it should come
as no surprise that a being encompassing the power of
computer networks. Digital Eye is a being of honesty,
seeking to tear down all barriers of information, and calls
on his packs to do so as well. No Garou can claim to
have seen Digital Eye, but unsurprisingly communicates
via technological devices.
Individual Traits: Children of Digital Eye gain
two dots of Computers. Glass Walkers gain one point of
honor, while members of any other tribe lose one point
of honor.
Pack Traits: Digital Eye’s packs may call upon
the Gift: Blur of the Milky Eye, as well as two additional
dots of Computer.
Ban: Packs dedicated to Digital Eye can only
communicate with him via digital communication devic-
es. His children must have access to such a device in
order to make use of any of his boons. His children may
also not keep secrets from those not of the Wyrm,
though exceptions are made for maintaining the Veil in Mammoth
accordance with the Litany.

Ban: Bound by the seasons, devotees of Frog are
at +1 difficulty to all rolls during the winter.
 Parrot
Background Cost: 5
Associated with human gods and nobility across
the world for thousands of years, Parrot is a regal and
charismatic spirit. When he speaks, all listen, and he is a
master of languages as well.
Individual Traits: Children of Parrot gain a dot
of Charisma and a point of Honor.
Pack Traits: Parrot’s packs gain two dots of Ex-
pression, and can make use of the Homid Gift Speech of
the World once per day.
Ban: Parrot has become quite concerned with
the modern trade in parrots, and he expects his followers
to free his animal children from captivity and actively
work against the parrot trade.
Quetzal
Background Cost: 7
A resplendent red and green bird native to Cen-
tral America, the Quetzal was sacred to the civilizations of
that region. He demands that Garou packs that seek his
patronage be of utmost nobility and display justice and
honor at all times.
Individual Traits: Garou dedicated to Quetzal
gain a point of Honor
Pack Traits: Quetzal grants his packs a dot of
Appearance, Etiquette, and Melee, as well as two dots of
Leadership. They can also call upon two points of Will-
power per story.
Ban: Children of Quetzal must act with the ut-
most decorum at all times, and never harm anyone with-
out a valid an honorable reason.
Totems of War
Garou are Gaia’s warriors, first and foremost,
and it is unsurprising that many pledge themselves to
Totems of War to aid them in battle against the Wyrm.
Adder
Background Cost: 8
Master of guerrilla warfare, Adder teaches his
children to slowly bleed an enemy. Cunning Fianna
packs have looked to him for guidance since the time
that Rome hoisted the Aquilla upon Great Britain. To
this day, Fianna and Get of Fenris of England, Scotland,
and Wales seek his patronage.
Individual Traits: All children of Adder gain
two dots of Stealth.
Pack Traits: As the only poisonous snake of
Britain, Adder teaches his children to poison weaken
their foes, and thus his packs may make use of the Gifts:
Fatal Flaw and Wither Limb.
Ban: Deeply connected to the island of Great
Britain, if his packs leave the island, they must commit to
costly offerings to him every full moon. This means that
one dot of Resources must be effectively tied up and not
utilized for the entire month, either one that belongs to a
pack member or a pooled dot. There is an ancient geas
against Adder regarding Ireland, and thus his children
may never go to the Emerald Isle.
Alligator
Background Cost: 7
There are few more patient predators than Alli-
gator. He will wait, utterly still, for prey to come, floating
upon the water like harmless driftwood, or buried deep
in the mud. When the moment is right, he strikes with
intense violence, dragging his prey under and rolling to
tear it apart. He teaches this inhuman patience and
stealth to his packs as well.
Individual Traits: Children of Alligator gain +1
to bite damage in any form, as well as two bonus dice to
swimming.
Pack Traits: Those packs dedicated to Alligator
gain two dots to Stamina, and two bonus damage dice
when a target is surprised.
Ban: Alligator’s children may never consume the
flesh of alligators, nor make use of alligator skin items.
Bull
Background Cost: 8
Not to be confused with male cattle, Bull is rep-
resentative of the mighty auroch. Bull is a very direct
War Totem, and especially popular among Garou of the
Get of Fenris and Fianna, as well as the Red Talons for
his association with an extinct species. He has, as the
apocalypse looms and more packs turn to him, become
more powerful.
 Individual Traits: Bull grants Garou who pledge
their loyalty to him an additional dot of Strength, as well
as a point of Glory.
Pack Traits: Those packs who enjoy Bull’s pat-
ronage have access to three dots of Brawl, as well as four
points of Rage per story.
Ban: As a direct War Totem, packs dedicated to
Bull may find him offended by acting with subtlety or
deceit. Also, Bull’s Rage touches his children, causing
them to make Rage rolls at -2 difficulty.

Flea
Background Cost: 5
Flea is the undisputed master of hit and run tac-
tics. Some more honor bound tribes consider her tactics
as less than honorable, but she has interestingly enough
attracted a diverse following, as both Red Talons and
Glass Walkers find her tactics perfectly acceptable. She is
also, unsurprisingly, quite popular with the Bone Gnaw-
ers due to her association with rats and stray animals.
Individual Traits: Children of Flea subtract 1
from all temporary Glory they earn.
Pack Traits: Packs dedicated to Flea have access
to the Gift’s Hare’s Leap, and Luna’s Armor.
Ban: Garou who follow flea may not disturb her
animal children, so they may not scratch fleabites nor
may they use any kind of wash or medications to remove
flea infestations from their fur.

Rhino
Background Cost: 5
A great spirit of the savanna, Rhino is a power-
ful, though thoughtful and humble totem. When roused
to violence, however, he strikes decisively, seeking to end
any confrontation quickly. He has wide respect among
all the tribes that know of him, particularly packs operat-
ing in Africa, and he is highly regarding by the Ahadi as
well.
Individual Traits: Garou dedicated to Rhino
gain a dot of Strength, as well as a bonus point of Will-
power per story.
Pack Traits: Rhino’s Packs can make use of one
additional dot of Brawl and Melee in their first attack in
combat.

Ban: Though a War Totem, Rhino demands his
children be thoughtful and wise. All members of his
pack must have at least one dot of Wisdom. They are
also expected to protect his animal children.
Shark
Background Cost: 6
A consummate apex predator, shark kills without
warning or emotion, it is something done for survival
and nothing more. His changing breed children, the
Rokea, are likewise dispassionate, and simply venerating
him is no guarantee of cooperation from the most alien
of Fera.
Individual Traits: Bite attacks from Shark’s
children gain +2 damage dice, and his children also gain
a point of Glory.
Pack Traits: Shark’s packs gain a dot of Strength
and two dots of Stealth.
Ban: Shark expects his children to be a detached
as he is when killing, and must not express neither re-
morse nor joy in the act.
Wasp
Background Cost: 6
A highly aggressive and territorial Totem, packs
that have dedicated themselves to defense of particular
territory, particular Bawns of Caerns, find Wasp especial-
ly appealing. Wasp strikes without mercy, driving any foe
away. Many humans in particular fear the Wasp, and his
fearless attacks on much larger enemies endear him to
the warlike Garou.
Individual Traits: Wasp’s followers gain an ad-
ditional two dots of Intimidation, and are at -1 difficulty
on Intimidation rolls to convince trespassers to leave
places they have dedicated to guarding.
Pack Traits: Packs dedicated to Wasp may call
upon two dots of Brawl.
Ban: Children of Wasp must not back down
from foes, regardless of their size.
Weasel
Background Cost: 7
A highly aggressive Totem, Weasel does not
mindlessly attack, but makes great use of her natural
agility to attack from unexpected directions and dodge
any counter attack, striking relentlessly until her foe is
utterly destroyed. She is popular among many warlike
packs, but aggressive Shadow Lord packs especially find
her appealing.
Individual Traits: Garou dedicated to Weasel
gain an additional dot of Dexterity, and an additional die
to bite damage rolls.
Pack Traits: Weasel’s packs gain access to two
dice when making Dodge rolls.
Ban: Her children must never show fear under
any circumstances, and lose an additional point of Glory
if they succumb to Fox Frenzy.
Wolverine
Background Cost: 6
The ultimate Totem of War and Rage, Wolver-
ine fights with utter savagery, and expects his adopted
children to do the same. He grants a vision of Malfeas to
those packs he adoptions, filling their heart with Rage.
Such is his mindless fury that he and his followers are
often shunned by even the Garou.
Individual Traits: Wolverine’s children gain an
additional dot of Stamina and Rage (this may not bring
them over 10 dots of Rage), but subtract 1 from tempo-
rary Wisdom awarded.
Pack Traits: His packs gain access to four points
of Rage per story, but such is their savagery and wrath
that they gain access to one less pack tactic than they
would otherwise be able to use.
Ban: Wolverine expects his followers to fight
with a ferocity that matches his own, and thus must
spend at least one point of Rage in combat. They are
also forbidden from granting quarter to their foes.
Totems of Wisdom
Every Garou is a spiritual being, and the struggle
against the Wyrm often requires the unearthing of hid-
den lore to be successful, and thus, more than a few
packs, regardless of their tribal makeup, entreat with
Totems of Wisdom.
Chameleon
Background Cost: 4
There is perhaps no more patient observer than
Chameleon. Children of Gaia and Uktena especially
find him appealing for this reason, through more than
Glass Walker packs who specialize in surveillance and
intelligence gathering are drawn to him as well.
Individual Traits: Chameleon’s children gain a
dot in Alertness.
Pack Traits: Packs who enjoy Chameleon’s pat-
ronage gain access to the Gift Blur of the Milky Eye, as
well as three dots of Perception.
Ban: Garou to commit themselves to Chamele-
on are expected to not be headstrong, and think before
acting.
Salmon
Background Cost: 7
Salmon is a spirit of powerful magic, the Celts,
and thus the Fianna, hold that the taught great powers to
their hero Fion Mac Cumhaill. Such is his mastery of
mystic rites that packs dedicated to engaging in more
esoteric powers seek out his patronage.
Individual Traits: Children of Salmon may Step
Sideways at -1 difficulty, and gain 2 dots of the Rites
Background.
Pack Traits: Packs dedicate to Salmon gain two
dice to Rituals.
Ban: Every year, Salmon will command his
packs to carry out a very specific quest. This will vary
from the obvious, such as recovering an occult text from
a Wyrm corrupt organization or assassinating a specific
Black Spiral Dancer, to truly strange and bizarre, such as
damaging a specific traffic sign in a small town in Indi-
ana, or finding a particular human and making sure they
have exactly $27.12 in their pocket. Regardless of the
triviality of the task, it will in many cases be revealed to
have a significant impact in the Garou’s struggle against
the Wyrm.

Fog
Background Cost: 5
A Totem of deep mysticism favored especially by
the Silent Striders and Uktena, fog grants knowledge and
subtleness to his packs. His children have a reputation
for jealously guarding secrets that they have acquired.
Individual Traits: Fog’s children reduce the dif-
ficulties or Enigma and Occult rolls by 1, and gain a
point of Wisdom.
Pack Traits: His packs may make use of an extra
die of Subterfuge and Stealth, and gain access to the Gift
Curse of Aeolus.
Ban: Such are his children’s dedication to keep-
ing secrets that any Garou dedicated to Fog must spend a
point of Willpower to reveal a secret to anyone outside of
their pack.
Totems of Cunning
The Apocalypse looms, and many packs look for
any edge against the Wyrm. Some seek the patronage of
less traditional Totems of Cunning, much to the chagrin
of more hidebound Elders.

Butterfly
Background Cost: 5
Butterfly is a cunning manipulator. As a juvenile
caterpillar, he attracts colony insects like ants to protect
him with his secretions. Once he pupates into an adult,
he flies off, leaving behind the victims of his cleaver
machinations without a second thought. Shadow Lords
and some Glass Walkers especially find this appealing,
especially when they can turn potential enemies against
each other.
Individual Traits: Children of Butterfly gain a
dot of Manipulation, but gain one less point of tempo-
rary Glory when it is awarded.
Pack Traits: Butterfly’s packs gain access to two
dots of Subterfuge, which is doubled when impersonat-
ing another, as well as a dot in Athletics.
Ban: Packs who follow butterfly must demand a
price for giving aid.

Goat
Background Cost: 5
Goat is a suborn survivor, first and foremost, and
will go to any lengths to win, a trait admired by many
Garou as the Wyrm rises and the Apocalypse looms. For
those packs who find that the ends justify the means, he
is a very appealing totem.
Individual Traits: Such is the stubbornness of
Goat that his children make Willpower rolls at -1 difficul-
ty. Metis with the Horns deformity may make an attack
with their horns causing Strength +1 Lethal damage.
Pack Traits: Packs dedicated to Goat have access
to two dots of Subterfuge as well as Survival.
Ban: Goat’s children are expected to eat what’s
available, regardless of personal tastes.
 Honor Your Totem
A Garou pack is not truly a pack without a totem. It brings them together as a single
entity, granting them great power, and the means to battle their ancient foe, the Wyrm.
Across the World of Darkness, Garou pledge themselves to powerful totem spirits of
Respect, War, Wisdom, and Cunning.

and thus the Fianna, hold that the taught great powers to
their hero Fion Mac Cumhaill. Such is his mastery of
mystic rites that packs dedicated to engaging in more
esoteric powers seek out his patronage.
Individual Traits: Children of Salmon may Step
Sideways at -1 difficulty, and gain 2 dots of the Rites
Background.
Pack Traits: Packs dedicate to Salmon gain two
dice to Rituals.
Ban: Every year, Salmon will command his
packs to carry out a very specific quest. This will vary
from the obvious, such as recovering an occult text from
a Wyrm corrupt organization or assassinating a specific
Black Spiral Dancer, to truly strange and bizarre, such as
damaging a specific traffic sign in a small town in Indi-
ana, or finding a particular human and making sure they
have exactly $27.12 in their pocket. Regardless of the
triviality of the task, it will in many cases be revealed to
have a significant impact in the Garou’s struggle against
the Wyrm.

Fog
Background Cost: 5
A Totem of deep mysticism favored especially by
the Silent Striders and Uktena, fog grants knowledge and
subtleness to his packs. His children have a reputation
for jealously guarding secrets that they have acquired.
Individual Traits: Fog’s children reduce the dif-
ficulties or Enigma and Occult rolls by 1, and gain a
point of Wisdom.
Pack Traits: His packs may make use of an extra
die of Subterfuge and Stealth, and gain access to the Gift
Curse of Aeolus.
Ban: Such are his children’s dedication to keep-
ing secrets that any Garou dedicated to Fog must spend a
point of Willpower to reveal a secret to anyone outside of
their pack.
Totems of Cunning
The Apocalypse looms, and many packs look for
any edge against the Wyrm. Some seek the patronage of
less traditional Totems of Cunning, much to the chagrin
of more hidebound Elders.

Butterfly
Background Cost: 5
Butterfly is a cunning manipulator. As a juvenile
caterpillar, he attracts colony insects like ants to protect
him with his secretions. Once he pupates into an adult,
he flies off, leaving behind the victims of his cleaver
machinations without a second thought. Shadow Lords
and some Glass Walkers especially find this appealing,
especially when they can turn potential enemies against
each other.
Individual Traits: Children of Butterfly gain a
dot of Manipulation, but gain one less point of tempo-
rary Glory when it is awarded.
Pack Traits: Butterfly’s packs gain access to two
dots of Subterfuge, which is doubled when impersonat-
ing another, as well as a dot in Athletics.
Ban: Packs who follow butterfly must demand a
price for giving aid.

Goat
Background Cost: 5
Goat is a suborn survivor, first and foremost, and
will go to any lengths to win, a trait admired by many
Garou as the Wyrm rises and the Apocalypse looms. For
those packs who find that the ends justify the means, he
is a very appealing totem.
Individual Traits: Such is the stubbornness of
Goat that his children make Willpower rolls at -1 difficul-
ty. Metis with the Horns deformity may make an attack
with their horns causing Strength +1 Lethal damage.
Pack Traits: Packs dedicated to Goat have access
to two dots of Subterfuge as well as Survival.
Ban: Goat’s children are expected to eat what’s
available, regardless of personal tastes.
