One of the ideas I am working on for a story is how characters should find their totem animal. The earlier on the evolutionary scale, the better. It seems logical for teenagers to have an amphibious totem animal, like frogs or salamanders.
Pola has a leatherback seaturtle as a helper, as shown in this flashback scene that takes place right after book numer 2 POLA ends. The turtle pops up when she is coming of age, so an aquatic reptile makes sense.
In theory, it would be posibble to have a human for a totem animal - but then you are a real idiot. (in the literal sense the ancient Greeks meant it) Well, it is a bit dificult humour so I will have it in the background only.
