These mascots are powerful, magical creatures that form a special bond with wizards attending the Strixhaven University. In the context of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition (5e), the Strixhaven mascots serve as familiar-like companions that provide various benefits and abilities to their wizard companions. **The Strixhaven mascots are more than just pets or companions; they are an integral part of a wizard's magical journey at the university.** Each mascot represents one of the five colleges within Strixhaven: Lorehold, Prismari, Quandrix, Silverquill, and Witherbloom. The mascots embody the core values, themes, and powers of their respective colleges, making them a crucial aspect of each student's magical path.
