The images may not be an exact match as some were cropped (post #63403), had their back ground modified (post #127094) or were made SFW (post #348816) to better suit the homepage.

Author's note:

Hi, I'm abppbd, a regular e621 user, and I created this pool to have a history of e621 mascots. I'll try to update it yearly or biyearly.
This pool is intended as a means for digital preservation, feel free to add information you might have (like name & dates of "ares", the missing mascot or past mascots that disapeared).
