Frog is a Totem of both Respect and Wisdom.
General Overview[]
Though small, Frog carries a respect among the Garou that belies her meager size, especially among the Uktena and Wendigo. Like Gaia’s chosen, Frog is a shapeshifter spirit and a predator. As a spirit of change, bound by the changing water levels brought by tides and temperature, Frog is associated with the seasonal changes, as well as with both Luna and Helios. If asked properly, Frog will guard her children’s lands well and make them prosper, and her many years of guarding caerns have made her a highly honored totem.
