Minsc and Boo! [http://www.minscandboo.com/index.php]

How can you not like a half-crazed but oh so lovable and rightgeous Barbarian Ranger with his Giant Minature Space Hamster companion, whom imprint their boots of justice into the swollen and unsightlky backside of Evil, anywhere it'd hides!?!!

I have lost myself in your words, but no matter!
Worth the price of the game all by itself.

This one isn't my favorite but its in the top ten: Mudcrabs from Oblivion.
Seriously, every Oblivion player knows about mudcrabs and I can't think of Oblivion without thinking about mudcrabs and vice versa.

Hahahah, I should use swords, not words!

Also, mudcrabs... mudkips...mudcrabs...headcrabs... think I might be onto something there...

The Security Guards from Half Life. My heart really went out to them when I saw one pathetically firing at a Gargantua, moments before he was slammed by a car and crushed into a wall. His last words were, "Gotcha!"

He died as he lived.

Oooh! I had such a huge fondness of those! I haven't actually passed Half Life, I rather sat beside my brother and watched him pass it, but after a while we had become a sort of team, with me calling up dangers like sneaking headcrabs that he had not noticed.
And I had taken a big liking to the security guards: I had named all of them, and I kept harrasing my brother so he would take care of them. Sadly... poor Roger, and Bob, and all... met their demise, in some way or another. Tough one of them simply couldn't follow Gordon past a certain door or something, but didn't actually die so, deep down in my heart, I wish he had survived all of this, and somehow is now living happily ans safely, somewhere...~

I would love to see Robot Bil from Neverhood become the mascot for a ton of games, including some futuristic first person shooters, simply because I'd love to see him in the backdrop of an epic planetary battle carelessly knocking the enemy ships and and tanks aside chasing after someone carrying his teddy bear, all the while shouting "Me Bil!" so the whole planet can hear him. Man I loved that guy.

The common or garden Space Marine for Warhammer 40k

 

[Darkintent]

Knuckles from Sonic 3, everyone forgets that he spends half the game fucking with you!
Curse you you red fiend!

 

[MiloP]

Toe Jam and Earl.
We'd probably hear a lot more of them had a little blue hedgehog not been born. But my old SEGA was definitely split between Sonic and TJ&E and for the life of me I could never pick a winner.

Most of these obscure/alternative characters come from older, NES era games, and from that particular mist of time I´d like to pick Lolo. I mean, what exactly is he/it? He/it falls into the same category of mascots as Pac-man, Kirby and those two little dragons from Bubble Bobble: Simple, round things that eat other things or shoot things from their mouth. How quaint is that.

How could I forget Bob and Bub!?

Why not flushing that theme out with Robocod theme instead. Talk about weird mascot: James Bond -esque secret agent fish. Anything was possible in those days. What bizarre mascots do we have today?

Wait, I got another: Battletoads. You remember them? They were big in the 90s.

The Battletoads got big for one reason - Nintendo Power. That magazine hyped that game for months to the point that I thought it was the second coming of Mario or something. Of course ten minutes after renting the game and dying 8 times we all knew better.
