Anthro Northwest 8 (2026) - Opening Ceremony and Convention Mascots Performing

One of Anthro Northwest's unique aspects is its growing family of convention mascots. As of 2026, there are 5 of them, all appropriately themed after the nature & wildlife of the Pacific Northwest:

Andy the Wolf (Original ANW Mascot)
Cove the Otter (Andy's Best Friend)
Storm the Osprey (Andy & Cove's 1st Adopted Child)
Geo the Bear (2nd Adopted Child)
Sprout the Wolf-Otter Hybrid (Child of Andy and Cove).

This video shows that their task is not limited to take part in official con events but also spreading lots of joy, smiles and hugs as they wander the floors of ANW - which adds a lot to the experience of Seattle's anthropomorphic arts convention.
