It's the season for mascots from all over to compete in beauty.

In Vietnamese culture, the dragon is considered the most sacred animal among the four mythical animals that are respected and worshiped by the people (Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, Phoenix). The dragon is a symbol of strength and invincibility against enemies, associated with the emperor, representing authority and possessing supernatural spiritual powers. Therefore, the image of the dragon has always been depicted as majestic, free, liberal and strong.

However, through the hands of artisans in some localities, the dragon mascot has become... strangely humorous!

The "opening" of this year's dragon "beauty" contest is the mascots at a tourist area in Quang Xuong district (Thanh Hoa). On social networking sites, the picture was widely shared with many humorous comments: "It's really a Quang Xuong dragon, all bones."

Many people commented that these dragons are too skinny, from a distance they look like worms, not dragons.

Meanwhile, a dragon at a shopping mall in Ho Chi Minh City "caused a fever" with its panicked dragon image.

Many customers passing by the shopping mall were startled by the dragon mascot's face which has a very... peek-a-boo style.

The 'father' of many popular mascots hid the 2024 dragon model until the last minute to create a surprise

In Quy Nhon, in a campus there is a dragon shaped like a caterpillar made of green trees.

Back in the West, the "steel dragon" mascot built by the teachers of an elementary school out of steel also scared the students.

Not to lose the title "unique Binh Duong", the dragon jar work made by artisans in Binh Duong is also very "something and the other"

Because its body is made of jars, this dragon looks asymmetrical, with a dragon head but a very... slippery body.

Coming from Bac Giang, this dragon has a very western style, as if inspired by the animated film "How to Train Your Dragon". Perhaps that's why this mascot doesn't have a majestic and brave appearance, but instead has a very childlike interface.

Less than 2 weeks to go until the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin. Let's wait for the "heavyweight" candidates from all over the country to be revealed!
