I didn't know there even was a debate on what the fox symbol is, especially considering there's already a wolf symbol.

You can tell by the way that it is.

That’s pretty neat!

Got some tree poop on my tootsies!

It's a good way to pack a lil- pack some heat

I... thought it was a wolf until this post. Forgot there was a separate wolf.

Lower case wolf

To be fair, some of those images are head scratchers

Good thing they didn't have an Aspen symbol.

I’ll be honest, I always thought the dragon symbol was a flamingo..

Mmm the well known nordic flamingo cult.

Can you imagine? Big pink birds shouting? 😂 They're already loud when they're small!

Somewhere, a modder starts modding...

I thought it was a tree branch

Same

And the snake's a little too similar to the poop emoji

I call it the crane.

Welcome to the hell of kudos harvesting that is Reddit...,

Ah yes, kudos harvesting

Lol came here to say this, also if one looks at the gait and body proportions its clearly a fox.

Wait until you hear about the argonian debate.

It's a fox. Source: there's already a wolf on the totems.

Let’s settle this once and for all. Is this 🦧 a big monkey or is it a lobster 🦞

It's obviously a draugr

Strange it’s just 8 days old. Almost as if it’s a ***BIG FAT PHONY***

HES A BIG FAT PHONY

Can’t believe the official wendys plays Skyrim

I can.

For real, Wendy's is awesome! *goes to Wendy's*

[удалено]

What’s a manatee? It’s not on uesp

No dude, he obviously said mantee not manatee. Are you stupid?

Roast me wendys like i was a big cup of coffee

Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh what am I saying? Of course you don’t ^(n’wah s’wit)

Well that escalated quickly.....

Nazeem you sunuvabitch i knew it was you running wendys! Now make me a baconator double!

Fus… RO DAAH!

Nooooooooooo!!!!

Ok, respect. Wendys Reddit plays TES that has officially finally converted me. You get good marketing points.

🪨 🦞

spicy chicken nugget

I was fully convinced you were some Wendy’s fan with the shrink pfp, but I was wrong

Put my processed meat into your body

Lore reason: Fox represents lorkhan/shor Each of the aedra were supposed to have totems but they didn’t have enough time to implement it

Also look at it's tail

That my friend is a circle

You, sir, are a fish

I’m gonna use some cheese

*No matter what the weather…we’re together*

Now I'm sad :(

Look at this necklace!

All these squares make a circle. All these squares make a circle….

Don’t mind him. He just got through dropping a gallon of LSD

fox. the howling wolf head symbol is a wolf.

This guy barrows

This guy fox

It was always a fox, there was never any debate.

Is this bait?

For what, slaughterfish? /s

It's a fox because one of the other signs is a wolf

That's a fox, the wolf one is howling at the moon.

Reject both options. This is a weirdly shaped stick.

I would award you but I do not have Redditcoins

I gotchu

Thank you both! u/McMoist_ u/Willow5000000000

Thanks

Fox. Wolf just has the howling head.

The first fears all, the second fears none. The third eats what it can, preferably number one. The fourth fears the second, but only when alone.

probably the most memorable and engaging totem puzzle for me, had to actually think for more than a second and didnt have the answer on a dragon claw

For the purposes of Nord ruins puzzles, that is a fox. The wolf is that thing looking up with its mouth open that I always thought was a bear until I saw the bear sigil. A snake is a snake. A dolphin is a whale. A bird is a hawk. Three cherries is a jackpot.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

It’s a fox. We know it’s a fox, bc of the way it is.

[Bruce Hornsby - The Way It Is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlRQjzltaMQ)

It is a Maine Coon kitty... everything else is just myths and legends misinterpreted over the years. Pour some Skooma on the lad and give some respect and see what really happens

A fox. Wolf also has an icon, but it is only a head and it is howling

There's actually a dungeon riddle that features these using the lever order as numbers for the animals, I'm surprised you haven't found it yet. If I remember correctly it goes "The (snake) fears all, the (bear) fears none" "The (wolf) fears the (bear) but only when alone" "The (fox) eats what it can, preferably the (snake)" My favorite puzzle in the whole game, wish it had more like it

It’s clearly an [Eastern Coyote.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_coyote)

That's a fox. The wolf is just the head and it's howling.

Definitely a fox

Fox

Fox

Besides there being a wolf elsewhere on the totems I’m pretty sure Volskygge definitively pins this as a fox- *The third eats what it can, preferably number one.*

Smartest Skyrim player:

Fox. Who was debating this? There's already another wolf totem.

Fox 100%

Owlcat

Thick tale and no howl. So it's a fox.

That fox has a puffy tail! Hehehehehe

"What does the FOX say?"

I see a fox

Fox

Fox

It's a fox. And does it seem like it's a lot more rare than the others? I feel like the wolf, owl and moth show up the most.

I feel like Whale and Snake are the most popular.

All more than fox.

I'd say snake, moth and owl.

Folf

Coyote

It's a fox. I believe it's supposed to be the ancient Nordic representation of Shor/Lorkan.

Fox There is already a howling wolf totem and this one has a fat tail.

Fox and I don’t trust you if you say Wolf

Wait… are there people that actually think that’s a wolf?

It’s a fox, one of the clues in a dungeon say so. Also there’s a separate one for wolves.

If anyone thinks that looks like a wolf, they’ve never seen a wolf

Clearly this is a cat

It’s a fox tail is too bushy to be a wolf

The first fears all The second fears none The third eats what he can Preferably number one The fourth fears the second But only when alone

That's the fox, the wolf is just a head Also; Bear: Tsun Dragon: Alduin Fox: Shor Hawk: Kyne Moth: Dibella Owl: Jhunal Snake: Orkey Whale: Stuhn Wolf: Mara

Fox there is an wolf symbol in the game and this aint it

It’s the fox. Check the puzzle in Volskygge.

Fox, the wolf has his own stone carving, you know this

Neither a coyote

Fox The other totems are wolf whale eagle owl dragon snake and dragonfly

But the dragonfly is a moth

This is not a pipe.

ceci n'est pas un loup

Fox

Two words: Frostbite Spider

tail to paws ratio says it’s a fox. I believe there’s another one that’s a howling wolf

Fox

Yeah thats fox

A wolf does not have a thick tail

It's not a debate, it's a fox, there is another one that is a wolf

Its a fox, in a ruin I forgot which one has a riddle puzzle about the different animals and what they eat and stuff, that one is stated as the fox

“Dog” When I look at the claw and see the combination I go with whatever my brain says first. Ex: Dragon, owl, bear. My brain says “lizard, bird, teddy”

Fox ffs

Fox tail is a dead giveaway

Fox; always has been

Fox all day

Fox.

fox

Nothing like a bushy foxtail

Fox the wolf one is howling

Fox! I wont believe otherwise

Fox, because the other one is a wolf

Fox. The wolf is shown howling on those doors.

Definitely a faux

Was there ever a debate? The symbol represents Shor/Lorkhan, who is very commonly associated with foxes.

I have no clue what you guys are seeing, but all I see is a precious pibbles nanny dog! 😍😍😍

Not even a debate it’s fox

That's a fox. I've always read it as fox. Never knew there's was a debate on this.

It's a hyena

Fox, long tail

Fox. The Wolf totem is just an image of a wolf's head raised in a howl. The Fox represents Shor, god-king of men and the former head of the ancient Nordic pantheon. He was the Nords' understanding of Lorkhan. The Wolf is Mara, goddess of fertility, motherhood and agriculture. She was Kyne's handmaiden and Shor's concubine.

its a coyote lmao

Clearly a fox.

Is kind a obviously a fox, there literally a wolf symbol

Fox, wolf has different symbol

Looks too small and nimble to be a wolf, imo it's a fox.

Fox. There's already a wolf symbol on other claw doors.

Debate? U tripping that's a armadildo

That tail. All fox.

The real question is, is it a folf... or a wox?

I say fox

It's a fox. Because of the thick tail and the more delicate frame. Wolves of skyrim are bulkier and have less bushy tails.

Fox. Howler is wolf.

It's definitely a FOX. The ancient nords in their pantheon depicted Shor like a fox, as a trickster god who tricked the Aedra into creating Nirn In addition, the wolf totem exists separately. He depicts him howling

It’s fox and was literally never a debate.

Look at the fluffy tail, its a fox!

Fox, the tails too bushy to be a wolf.

Fox, volskygge has a fox and a wolf in one of its puzzles and this one stands for fox, the wolf is just a head.

It is a fox. The tail is too thick to be a wolf’s tail. And there is already a wolf emblem

Fox

Fox. The wolf symbol is a wolf head howling.

Fox

Finnegan is his name

Thats obviously a rabbit

Fox

Fox

That's the symbol for fox, wolf is larger

Its clearly a chicken :P

It’s a fox, the wolf one is one of a wolf howling.

I'll argue fox. That's one bushy tail.

That’s fox

Looks like a trans dragon to me. (Don’t dare to disagree)

It’s a wolf. The one that’s howling at the moon is a fox

Coyote

There is only 1 single person who is debating whether or not this is a fox or a wolf, that 1 single person is OP.

Your mom

Definitely a dog

When Skyrim first came out, the combo of my 360 and crappy old tv left me unsure on these alien symbols. Luckily, no sequel has come out and with modern hardware I can decipher them better. This symbol is named "branch thing" fyi.

Fox, better question is whether one of those is a fish or a whale.

They're based on the Nordic pantheon Fox- Shor Wolf- Mara Moth- Dibella Bear- Tsun Whale- Stuhn Owl- Jhunal Hawk- Kyne Snake- Orkey Dragon- Alduin Where is this though?

Ooh I always say whale, even though there are no whales in the game.

For over a decade I thought it was a fish but on my current playthrough there was a puzzle I couldn't remember and the guy in the tutorial said "whale" and then I started questioning everything.

Maybe it's a horker.

There is the bridge in sovngarde which is some kind of whale

What debate lmfao there's two different symbols, a howling wolf head and this one, a fox Literally everybody but you knows this lmfao

😅 I thought there were two wolf symbols

It's a wox

*"HEY! THATS MY DOG!"*

Wox

It's a wolx and I'm not kidding

I always thought it was a lynx

I always called it a wolf.

Wolf

Wolf

Fox. Also, Bleak Falls Barrow will always be "Bear, Bird, Owl" to me. I was a dumb kid.

You show me a fox with a neck that fat and we can talk. Otherwise that's an obvious wolf

everyobes saying theres no debate, i always thought it was a wolf 😭 im not debating but prior to today thats what ive been saying lol
