Saint Louis University unveiled a new rendition to its mascot on Tuesday and it is quite ... different. Is it a robot? A shark? A monster?

Fans of the SLU Billikens were not impressed at all.

@SLU_Billikens Can we bring the old mascot back and forget this ever happened..... — Annalise Alvarez (@annalisealvarez) September 21, 2016

@SLU_Billikens You turned the mascot into Two-Face — Duncan Cooper (@duncan_cooper) September 21, 2016

@SLU_Billikens I hate to pile on but it really is a disaster. The two-tone face is just foolish. It is a real bummer. — Creepsville Citizen (@scaryfriar) September 21, 2016

No matter what SLU tried to tweet, the fans wanted no part of it.

@The_Billiken: as swift as a coursing river, all the force of a great typhoon, strength of a raging fire-Look out @atlantic10 @SLU_Billikens pic.twitter.com/jKGwume3Pj — Fred P. Pestello (@SLUPresident) September 21, 2016

This tweet didn’t work, either.

@SLU_Billikens My 5 year old has already said she never wants to go to another game. Who signed off on this atrocity? — Tom Craig (@SutterThompson) September 21, 2016

@SLU_Billikens oh geez, that's a major step in the wrong direction — Damien (@damfar2323) September 21, 2016

So, what is a Billiken anyway? According to SLU.edu, it’s a mythical creature:

The Billiken is a mythical good-luck figure who represents "things as they ought to be." Before he was Saint Louis University's mascot, he was a national sensation, a figure who was turned into dolls, marshmallow candies, metal banks, hatpins, pickle forks, belt buckles, auto hood ornaments, salt and pepper shakers, bottles and more. To buy a Billiken gives the purchaser luck, but to have one given to you is better luck.

To each their own, I suppose. It appears the mascot was always a bit scary but this new one is just weird.
