Mascot Olympics Nagano

IOC

24.Quatchi and Miga(Vancouver 2010)

This cutesy pair is in no manner creepy . In fact , the sasquatch and sea bear look downright trusty , and they ’re wearing appropriate winter article of clothing , to boot .

23.The Leopard, the Hare, and the Polar Bear(Sochi 2014)

Why does one Winter Olympics require three mascot ? Especially with such basic names ? And while the intent behind the Leopard ’s utility belt remains invitingly unclear , the creep - factor vibes this trio gives off are minimal .

22.Waldi(Munich 1972)

This multicolored badger dog look a piffling likeBlue fromBlue ’s Clues . It ’s ok .

21.Powder, Copper, and Coal(Salt Lake City 2002)

Three ’s a trend , and Powder ( the rabbit ) , Copper ( the Canis latrans ) , and Coal ( the bear ) bed it . Nothing to see here . Move along .

20.Hodori(Seoul 1988)

This mistily Tony - ish tiger mascot is endure a traditional Korean hat called the sangmo . It expect like if you make him excited , he will whip you with the ribbon attached to his lid , but that probably says creepier affair about us than Hodori .

19.Vučko(Sarajevo 1984)

Not only does this cat look like he might hang out with Felix the Cat , a famous cartoon cat who can not be commit , its name rhymes with " Fucko . " And yet the creepy affair about him , at least in the photo above , is that he ’s standing perilously close tothat John 3:16 guy with the rainbow - colored wig .

18.Roni(Lake Placid 1980)

Raccoons lurk in the darkness and eat garbage . No matter how friendly they are line , raccoons will always be creepy . Sorry .

17.Sam(Los Angeles 1984)

Looks like he ’s related toEagle Manfrom local Chicago boob tube ads , which means the creepiest thing he ’ll probably do is judge to sell you insurance .

16.Vinicius(Rio 2016)

Vinicius is a premix of various Brazilian animals , which is inherently a creepy conception , especially since there ’s something mistily humanoid about this guy cable . DidThe Island of Dr. Moreauteach us nothing ?

15.Amik(Montreal 1976)

This little grim beaver looks like it ’s up to no good , and the above photograph confirm it . But with no arms or stage , how harmful can this turd - like mascot be ?

14.Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini(Beijing 2008)

These mascots stand for the five natural elements , but they also represent the five incubus I will have after staring at this image . Stay away , demons .

13.Magique(Albertville 1992)

Human mascots are unsettling . Just learn the verbal description of this little cat provide on the official Olympics internet site – " a little monkey in the shape of a sensation and a square block " – makes me desire to crawl out of my tegument .

12.Cobi(Barcelona 1992)

The cause this dog wears make it look like a rejectedDilbertcharacter .

11.Hakon and Kristin(Lillehammer 1994)

Cool . Two scarey children !

10.Misha(Moscow 1980)

Why does this bear want a whang ? He has no pants . Terrifying .

9.Schneemann(Innsbruck 1976)

This snowman is scarier than the one Michael Keaton played inJack Frost .

8.Izzy(Atlanta 1996)

From the Olympics land site : " Izzy is an unusual mascot in that he is not an animal , nor a human image , nor an target . " Izzy is also the only mascot to feast on human souls .

7.Syd, Olly, and Millie(Sydney 2000)

These three mascots look like bullies . plain , their motto was , " How much do you lift ? "

6.Phevos and Athena(Athens 2004)

This brother - sis couple resemble wench . They also resemble the dote caretaker of a hell dimension .

5.Neve and Gliz(Turin 2006)

A sentient snowball and trash square block with no regard for human living . They smile to keep from screaming .

4.Hidy and Howdy(Calgary 1988)

Fun fact : these cunning polar bears have off multiple drifters .

3.Wenlock(London 2012)

The optic on Wenlock ’s question is meant to resemble the lens of a photographic camera . A great idea : remind children of the omnipresence of the surveillance body politic .

2.Sukki, Nokki, Lekki, and Tsukki(Nagano 1998)

You may recognize these owls from your nightmares .

1.Schuss(Grenoble 1968)

The first Olympian mascot is also the creepiest . What is this little battery-acid on one ski ? Where is he expire ? How did he get here ? There are no answers ; only mysteries .
