CUDDLY mascots will show their tougher side on Saturday.
The Eastgate Shopping Centre will be hosting an 'Ultimate Mascot' competition.
It has been organised to introduce shoppers to the Eastgate Elephant.
The as-yet-unnamed mascot will welcome some furry friends including Roary the Tiger from Gloucester City AFC, The Beechwood Bear from the Beechwood Shopping Centre, The Gloucester Yeti and Whaddney the Robin from Cheltenham Town FC. They will go head to massive head from noon in a school sports day style event in the centre's forum.
The name of the Eastgate Elephant will also be revealed.
Centre manager Jason Robinson said: "We're all very excited for the Mascot Day here."
