The most iconic mascots in Rock and Metal

From undead warlords to demonic icons, these mascots have defined bands for decades

1. Eddie – Iron Maiden

The king of metal mascots. A reanimated corpse who’s been everything from a mummy to a space alien to the Devil himself.

2. Vic Rattlehead – Megadeth

A mutilated metal skeleton with his senses sealed shut, a brutal symbol of censorship and corruption.

3. The Guy – Disturbed

A ghostly, hooded specter with glowing eyes. Imagine the grim reaper if he listened to nu-metal and worked out in the gym 5 days a week.

4. Chaly – Overkill

A green-eyed bat skull with wings. Looks like something summoned in a Slayer riff and raised in New Jersey. Possibly related to the deathbat logo of "Avenged Sevenfold"

5. Snaggletooth (War-Pig) – Motörhead

Part animal, part war machine, the snarling beast that captured Lemmy’s sonic destruction.

6. Set Abominae – Iced Earth

An apocalyptic, armored skeleton warrior born from power metal lore and end time prophecy.

7. Knucklehead – Five Finger Death Punch

The metal thug with a skull face and attitude to match. Like Ghost Rider and UFC had a baby.

8. Murray – Dio

A red-eyed demon tossing priests off cliffs. He’s the satanic overlord of classic heavy metal album art.

9. Henry (The Flying Demon) – Black Sabbath

A horned, winged devil often linked to Heaven and Hell, a dark, symbolic force from metal’s originators.

10. Sargeant D – S.O.D. (Stormtroopers of Death)

A dead soldier mascot with military gear and a rotted face. Designed to offend and terrify.

11. Not Man – Anthrax

A demented cartoon face with a sick grin. Less monstrous, more creepy as hell.

12. Rattlehead the Clown – Mudvayne

A disfigured, nightmare clown with a vibe somewhere between Slipknot and pure psychosis.

13. Papa Emeritus – Ghost

A rotating anti-Pope persona, mixing Catholic imagery with satanic horror.

14. Skullface – Exodus

The executioner of thrash metal. Usually holding a weapon, always holding your attention.

15. Dr. Rockzo – Dethklok / Metalocalypse

He’s a cocaine addicted clown and somehow one of the scariest on this list because he’s real in all the wrong ways.
