Video game Mascots

This is my 100th post, so I thought I would make a fun post about Video Game mascots!

Band of Monsters
Pancho
 

Pancho's are these mushroom like monsters, but are known as Bread Fairy monsters. They are the first monster you can capture in the KEMCO Mobile phone RPG  "Band of Monsters".
They're pretty strong and there are other versions of them as well, such as a pancho that is strong against fire magic, or one that heals. The strongest monster in the game is in fact a variation of Pancho!
They even appear in another Kemco game as well.

Chrono
Crono, Serge

The mascots for the Chrono games, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, would most likely be the main characters. Crono and Serge, plus the other main characters, Kid, Lucca and Marle.

Crono, the main character of Chrono Trigger 

A princess, who joins Crono's adventure.

Serge, the main character of Chrono Cross

Kid, Chrono Cross.
A spunky young woman, on the search for the Frozen Flame. The story of CC is heavily based around her.

Disgaea
Prinny

Prinnies are these Penguin monsters with wings, they have a habit of saying "DOOD!"


Final Fantasy
Moogle

You can't forget the mascot to one of the most popular RPG's of all time! The Moogle! A cute furry little creature, sometimes they are even playable characters.



Kingdom Hearts
Sora, Heartless

The first enemy in the game, generally weak. Although the name refers to all monsters of that kind.

Sora, the main protaganist of most of the Kingdom Hearts games.

Kya Dark Lineage
Kya, Stuff, and Mickens

Kya Dark Lineage doesn't exactly have a mascot, but at the same time, it does!

First we start off with Kya, the main character of the game. A tough strong willed young woman who is on a mission to get back to her home world.


Kya, the titular heroine.

This creature right here is named "Stuff", he is the creature mascot of the game. He allows other characters to communicate with Kya telepathically when she is not with them.

There are also these little critters known as Micken, they come in all sorts of colors, but their main color is red, the other colors are rare finds that you can capture and put into a zoo.
As terrible as this sounds, Mickens are very bouncy and Kya can use them to jump on, in order to get to a higher area!

These little creatures don't do much except eat grass.

Mana
Rabite

The Rabite from the Mana series, Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana, Dawn of Mana, Heroes of Mana etc... A Popular Rabbit monster and usually an early enemy in all of the games.

Pokemon
Pikachu

The popular anime, and video game character, Pikachu has been the mascot for the series since the beginning of the anime.
Although Ash's original starter Pokemon was a bad mouthing Clefairy in the original manga.


Suikoden
Various monsters and characters

The creeper is a plant based monster that can suck enemies in, it appears in a couple of Suikoden games, and could be considered a mascot.
The fourth, and fifth games have giant variation of this creature, that appears as somewhat of a mini-boss.

The Holly Boy is another monster that either appears in every game, or has a variation. Generally a weak monster, and always appears in the beginning of the game.
In Suikoden IV, the holly boy that appears is actually a form of seaweed that the heroes encounter while on board of a ship.
 Other variations include Papa Holly and holly Fairies.

Characters (Suikoden)

Character wise, the three returning characters who have appeared in every main title Suikoden could be the mascots of the series.

Leknaat appears as a wise seer, always willing to help out the protagonist. (Except in the third game where she only appears in the ending scene.)

Jeane, a rune mistress. Her Charm rune, allows for enemies to block damage, that she would receive from another enemy attack. The ability varies per games she is in. It can also allow allies to block damage for her, or even have enemies attack their friends instead.

Viki, a strange girl who can teleport through time, and space. She allows the hero to teleport to places they've already visited. She has a special ability in battle, which allows her to teleport allies, and enemies to other places in battle. As well as teleport random items, to fall on enemies heads.


Twisted Metal
Sweet Tooth

The mascot of Twisted Metal is Sweet Tooth, his face always appears somewhere on the logo .
He's in every game, and always has a new special attack.
He's notable for his fiery hair, and TWISTED attitude, although he's sometimes different in each game.
He always drives an ice cream truck.

That is the last of the mascots for now, I might do another Mascot post in the future!
