King Warrior

King Warrior is the mascot of the Department of Athletics and Recreational Services. It is not to be confused with Alumni Affair's lion mascot, Pounce de Lion.

History
King Warrior was first unveiled at the Naismith Classic basketball game on November 2, 2001. It was created to replace the Warrior mascot, which could only be donned by a "stocky male who was not afraid to perform crazy antics."
