Wendigo Totems represent a darker side to Shaman rituals, embracing the vicious duality of nature: one must die so that another may feed and live. Once placed, the totem will drain the life from nearby foes, all while creating a soothing aura that heals allies. The totems are taboo to most tribes though as the primal hunger spirit invoked to power the totem is perilous to control and has driven many shamans mad, filling them with an insatiable hunger that inevitably leads to cannibalism. Wendigo Totems scale with player damage bonuses.
