others is that they would be the only ones who understood the nature of Dragon
well enough to use it as a totem. Other totems such as Cat, Raccoon, and
Coyote have been apart of human conciousness for millenia. They've been apart
of human perception for a long time, long enough for humanity to form a
conception of their natures as totems. Dragons, on the other hand, haven't
been on the scene until 2011. They haven't been around long enough for meta-
humanity to from a basic consensus of belief about their nature. The only ones
who would have an understanding of the nature of Dragon would be those who
were around or have knowledge of the Fourth World. That is mostly Dragons and
Ancient Elves, and I doubt those Elves follow the Dragon Totem. They probably
follow the Passions or something else. That leaves only the dragons to use the
Dragon totem, them and those they enlighten. This reason is probably why other
awakened animals are not used as totems. They haven't been around long enough
for humanity to form basic ideas about their nature.
