20. Oklahoma State University

There’s no question Oklahoma State University’s “Pistol Pete” is the most realistic looking human mascot on this list (that is, when you don’t factor in his orange skin). What gets me, like a few other human-based mascots on this list, are those eyes.

And while he’s not baring a vicious set of pearly whites, there’s something about that grim straight line under his mustache that makes your skin crawl. Some of the most violent killers in history were also the silent ones.

You can pay $100 plus gas costs to have Pistol Pete appear at your event for just 30 minutes, but I don’t know if I would take $100 to hang out with this guy for a half hour …
