Critters from the Rivers (mascots)

The Critters from the Rivers are the tourism mascots of Dvoreki, the capital of both Smrekavoda state and Malichka. They were first introduced in 2010.

Description of the mascots
The mascots have different professions and speak different languages, but are known to accept each other as being Malichkans. They are all anthropomorphic versions of the animals they are based on, which is a national animal of each country these races are indigenous to. They all live in various places of the same city.

Character bio (as seen on website)
The Critters are the mascots of Dvoreki. Nobody knows how they came to be, but all we know is that they all came to invite us to the Riverside Garden City. Each one of the twenty critters represents an ethnic group in the city and the country itself. They appear everywhere around the city, guiding you across the streets and buildings, and appearing in every shop and every seat on the metro and the tram. And, they may have different ideas, but they learn to accept each other as Malichkans. Have fun being guided around the city!

Appearance
They are seen on welcome signs to the city and appear in the city as plastic effigies on road signs and as posters on trains and buses.
