Hey All,
So I was looking at the Totemic Skald archetype, and I thought the Bull Totem would be cool to use for a character. However, I haven't been able to find any defined creature for a Bull to wildshape/speak with animals to. Are there animals considered "Bulls" for these options or is it just broken and I won't be able to use those features?

"Animals of the same type" is a GM discretion area, but it will definitely apply to domestic cattle (cows, bulls, oxen) as well as the aurochs, probably bison and water buffalo, and maybe goats, rams, or antelopes (the latter of which are rather closely related to bulls but which some GMs may consider thematically members of the "Stag" totem instead).
The speak with animals ability should actually be fairly useful but since most Bull-like animals are size large you won't be able to wild shape into much if anything. I'd probably allow the goat & ram so the ability wasn't useless, and a young aurochs in defiance of the normal rule you can't wild shape into things with templates. I would probably go with the thematics for the antelope rather than the biological relationship.

The wildshape does not scale to allow for larger beasts of the same totem type? I would assume it does because otherwise there would be no need to clarify that elementals, plants etc could not be chosen, and you would not need an effective druid level
Thank you for the suggestions on the herd animals, I think those are good choices
