Images that were as some point used as the site's homepage mascot (e621.net) even if they are not used anymore
On e621's homepage it is possible to cycle through the multiple images presented as mascots by clicking the change mascot button (they cycle in a predefined order).
/!\ some thumbnails may not be visible if on e926.net or because of the SFW blacklist, nor on e621.net because of your blacklist.
Display Period
Some images here can be considered "permanent", being on the homepage for over a year.

The other images are temporary, often with a theme such as xmas (post #3713157) or halloween (post #3647121) and are generally removed after about a week.

The images may not be an exact match as some were cropped (post #63403), had their back ground modified (post #127094) or were made SFW (post #348816) to better suit the homepage.
(btw e621 homepage back ground color is hex(#002d55)/rgb(0, 45, 85), sauce: e621.net html file)
Hi I'm user abppbd and I created this pool to have a history of e621 mascots.
I'll try to update it at least every 6 months or so.
This Pool is intended as a mean of digital reservation, feel free to add information you might have (like the dates of the permanent images or the past and future iteration of the homepage).
