Hey, just curious if there’s a list of the different animal totems that the different branches of trolls embrace? Like, the Zandalari are pretty obvious since they’re tied to their racials, and we know Darkspear/Jungle Trolls are big on Raptors and Bats but feel that Birds are weak…but that’s not necessarily reflected in Forest Trolls since we see one of the main bosses in Zul’Aman being a Bird Totemic.
So yeah, am just hoping that someone has a compiled list somewhere for a few different themes in my various troll characters.
It really kind of depends on which Loa you pledge your primary loyalty to… Bonswamdi for instance is not an animal loa at all. And presumably, Vol-jin is going to join their number after a bit of training.
I do understand that Zandalari don’t just embrace a single one, which is why I stated that their major totemics are tied to their racials. I was hoping the distinction about Jungle Trolls hating birds while Forest Trolls seem to embrace them as a Totemic would help explain what I was trying to convey. Like Akil’zon is embracing an Eagle Loa/Totemic:
You wouldn’t see a worshipper of Akil’zon among the Darkspear, but you do among the Amani, and a worshipper of Akali would more than likely be very rare outside of Ice Troll Tribes, maybe even rare among none Drakkari Ice Trolls.
Or to put it another way, you probably wouldn’t see a Jungle Troll Hunter with bird pets, but cats and bats as hunter pets for them would be common…but for the Forest Trolls bears and eagles would probably be more common.
It’s not Jungle Trolls, in Zandalar, it’s Zandalari Trolls vs Blood Trolls and with the latter, their hunters bond with creatures that aren’t natural animals but fricking aberrations which are just mouths with feet. It really comes down to what loa you personally bond to. The royalty had their own personal Loa of Kings until that Loa’s recent death. Now it sounds like they’re going to be bound to Bswamdi or his new pupil, Vol-jin.
