A lot of things have mascots, rugby teams, companys etc. But today we're talking game mascots; now when I say game mascot I don't mean a character that represents a system like Mario for example, I'm talking the ones that can represent a game.

Like the Chocobo for the Final Fantasy games or the Pip Boy in the Fallout series, even the Big Daddy from Bioshock. The iconic little (or in some cases big) creatures, symbols or npc characters that can represent the game on it's own.

I was wondering what everyone at the Escapists favorite mascots, and possibly the reasons why they are your favorite.

One of my older favorites would be the Slime from the Dragon Quest series, a simple foe with such a happy look on it's face. Who knew that they would become such a staple in the series.



But my favorite as of late would have to be Claptrap, he reminds me a little bit of Gir from Invader Zim, except this one is helpful!



So what are your favorite/s?

Umm...

Navi from Ocarina of Time, maybe? At least she's better than Tatl...

Ratchet does not count - being a protagonist and all that - does he? Sigh.

The Mammonth tank obviously represents C&C Tiberian series, while Kirov blimp is a pretty good representation of Red Alert series. I can't think of any games without clear mascot right now, sorry.

Vault Boy from Fallout.

He's just so cheery!

And perhaps the unicorn from Peggle.

Yes, I'm weak.
That's right, Vault Boy is what he's referred to as, I had a mental block on it.
