That much certainly can't be said for Bobert, Lucy, Tater, and D.D. Grayduck, the crop of newbies vying to replace—and, in all likelihood, kill and eat—one of the retiring classic mascots next season. Twitter was introduced to the horrifying gang of Minnesota avatars on Monday. Reactions were... well, take a look:

what the hell — Jake Grovum (@jgrovum) August 13, 2018

I AM O.D. GREYDUCK. I AM THE ONE WHO IS THREE. I PRAY FOR DEATH, BUT THAT IS A GIFT I CAN ONLY GIVE AND NEVER RECEIVE — Gwen (@TrashGwen) August 14, 2018

you got anything that's not nightmare fuel? — ben (@BenBontreger) August 13, 2018

AKA a cheeseburger bleeding out from a GSW, a duck carrying two dead bodies by the neck, something to murder me while fishing, and Hannibal Lecter's hotdish — Mike Boeve (@mikeboeve) August 13, 2018

You know it's possible to make these things cute and not terrifying right? — Einstürzende Joe Biden (@MaxGenecov) August 14, 2018

The Twins even supplied bios for each new mascot.

We learn that Bobert, who resembles a paramilitary Deadmau5, prefers high-test fishing line, though it's unclear if it's intended for fish or hostages. It's revealed that Lucy, who's gushing yellowish slime from her head, has no known hometown. We discover that Tater, whose ceramic skull exposes a mound of brains, prowls Austin, Minnesota's SPAM Museum. And then there's D.D. Grayduck, the nervous man-sized duck who's hoisting two (hopefully breathing) fellow ducks by the necks.

Jesus...
