Which is your favorite Middle-earth mascot?

If each location in Middle-earth could be considered a school with a sports team and had its own mascot, which would be your favorite? As for *what* sport that team plays, you decide. Those who get it when I say that I nearly put 'Iron Hill Razorbacks' will know that here in the SEC it is American football season and everyone has a one-track mind when it comes to sports. Well, mostly everybody. Your favorite mascot needn't be which would be the strongest, just which one you like the most. Any suggestions you think are better than mine would be greatly acceptable. I couldn't think of absolutely anything for the Shire other than 'Hobbit Ninjas'. I have a feeling that the Talking Purses will be a hit (Dictum sacculus, according to our Tolkienia Times). Most of the mascots I listed are animals, since most mascots in real life *are* animals, but not all - see the Umbar Pirates. Also, I had a laugh making mellyrn the mascot of Lothlorien, as the official mascot of Stanford University is actually a tree. So there is a precedent!! Also, if you don't know what the Isengard Fighting Uruk-hai are, please take a gander at this link: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/180777372514679214/ (I hope the link works!)
"I had forgotten that. It is hard to be sure of anything among so many marvels. The world is all grown strange. Elf and Dwarf in company walk in our daily fields; and folk speak with the Lady of the Wood and yet live; and the Sword comes back to war that was broken in the long ages ere the fathers of our fathers rode into the Mark! How shall a man judge what to do in such times?" "As he ever has judged. Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house."
