Rattlesnake is a Totem of Wisdom.
Overview[]
Rattlesnake is a compassionate totem, but he has the capacity for great wrath. Once someone has offended him, Rattlesnake’s fury lasts a good long while. Despite his fearsome anger, though, Rattlesnake teaches caution and contemplation. His packs are encouraged to consider situations before acting, to give fair warning if someone is about to cross them, and to leave any enemies too stupid to back down lying in the dust.
