>>51373080Totem or Totemic refers to something that is putting out a mythical and powerful aura, like a Totem.
Totems are more often than not statues/figures/objects that leer over those who would view them, usually about 10-15 feet tall.
In literary terms, if you wanted to be more classy about "A Tall/Foreboding Individual ranging from 8-18 feet" You'd use Totemic.

As his seqouia of an arm cut a swath, beckoning our team forward I could feel my confidence as leader fall heavy within the arches of my feet. As if my very presence was that of a flea upon a great leviathan that had acknowledged my iotic existence..
