Among the Mangkwan, totems hold heavy significance. There are several forms, namely clan totems, like the two demonic totems that live at the center of the Mangkwan encampment, family totems which adorn yurts, and the ritualistic totems that appear in places the Ash clan has conquered. These fearsome icons evoke violence and death, meticulously designed to seed fear into the Na’vi who oppose the Mangkwan. It is not uncommon for these totems to make use of skulls, both animal and Na’vi, as a reminder of the vicious conquest of their fellow clans.
