International Mascot Groups

*Note: This article features a fanon Tacky's World version of either something fictional, a meme, or an existing character, thing, or whatever. That means the content of this article is **NOT REAL**, to avoid spreading misinformation online.*
**International Mascot Groups** (shortened to groups) are subcategories for the International Mascot Job, they exist so International Mascots can be categorized based on the games they represent. There are many of them, and some like the Olympic Mascots, Paralympic Mascots and the FIFA World Cup Mascots being known as the most well-known ones to other people. They can be related to each other as long as they follow guidelines to be so.

An International Mascot Group must have three or more official Mascots, if not, they might be either called "False International Mascot Group", or if not, will be combined with the main International Mascot Group they are based on and/or related to.

When a Sport Event goes at least 3-5 games without a recent official Mascot, it will be considered a "Defunct International Mascot Group", but it will go back to a normal one when it recontinues the Mascot trend again.

* World's Fair/EXPO Mascots can be easily mistaken as International Mascots and International Mascots Group, when in fact they are NOT and instead fall under the Other Mascots Job, all though they are still international. Some EXPO mascots can easily be pissed off when you call them or their group an International Mascot.
* The World Games Mascots are the only known group of International Mascots that doesn't have to do the sports of their games, since they act as cheerleaders in the games instead of playing the games, unlike all the other known groups. Some still do know the sports of their games, though.
