13. Purdue University

Most of the mascots on this list, particularly the human ones, are here because of some defining facial feature. Whether it’s a vicious scowl or intimidating eyes, they all have some noticeable, nightmare fueling attribute. Except for Purdue Pete.

Pete’s on the list because of the total void of life in his face. His eyes are so wide, it’s impossible for him to ever lose a staring competition. He’d probably use the opportunity to take a long, blank look into your soul.

Wielding a real axe and some serious muscles, Pete will chop you up and not even chuckle about it. It’s a completely different kind of sinister. He’s a silent and deadly killer.

Also, his neck seems to come out of his chest. That’s just gross.
