Every project can have a kitty or a bear... real geeks' projects have real geek mascots.

Enter Opabinia regalis. This nice Cambrian sea inhabitant had not less than 5 eyes and a nice single trunk with claws.
It's the ideal mascotte, also because you can draw it as you like (she left us only its fossils, smiling :-)
BTW I was an Opabinia in my previous life
