Best Answer

The official mascott is the Boilermaker Special (a train.) The Special is built off of a truck platform and is seen at all football games and many other events. Unofficially Purdue also uses a character named "Purdue Pete" to represent the University, especially at athletic events. You may also see a smaller version of the train called the "Boilermaker Extra-Special" built off of a Golf cart frame. This is used on the football field and Basketball court.
