Nyanpire is the school mascot. For years and years, poor unfortunate teens have been shoved into a slightly shoddy mascot costume in his likeness, for the sake of TEAM SPIRIT. (I think this makes the school team the WTL VampCats, I don't know...)

There is also a smaller, more "life" sized stuffed version of the mascot that's usually in the school's trophy case... but it's a popular prank to get in, steal Nyanpire, and hide him in funny places throughout the building. And it's tradition to insist that no no, he just got up and walked there himself, don't you know....
