Lest anyone might argue a mascot must be a fictional character, since all to date have been such in this list…

Wikipedia:

> [@](#):
>
> The term mascot – defined as a term for any person, animal, or object thought to bring luck – colloquially (informally) includes anything used to represent a group with a common public identity, such as a school, professional sports team, society, military unit, or brand name. Mascots are also used as fictional, representative spokespeople for consumer products, such as the rabbit used in advertising and marketing for the General Mills brand of breakfast cereal, Trix.

They mentioned my silly Trix Rabbit!
