Totems were associated with savage, primitive religions in humanity's ancient past.
Some alien races also developed religious worship into some kind of spirit or god that was represented by some sort of decorated object.

Ves felt rather chilly at this prospect. How much would Master Willix be able to decipher from the glow of a totem?
