Nauvoo, Illinois: Erik: Carpet Viking HS Mascot
Erik carries a large shield and a smaller sword, which perhaps suggests that Nauvoo-Colusa High School teams emphasize defense rather than offense. This Viking formerly guarded a carpet store in Iowa. Toppled by a storm in 2023, back up in 2024.

A re-purposed carpet Viking, ready to defend the teacher's lounge at Nauvoo-Calusa High School. He is similar to another Illinois HS mascot in Springfield.
[Craig Thom, 03/04/2002]I visited Nauvoo, Illinois, and saw outside the local high school what I believe is the same kind of viking as the one in Springfield, IL. Nauvoo's Viking has no sword in his hand, but the position looks the same. He's also supported with a brace behind him, as the "Spartan" is.
