Part TalkingAnimal and part [[TheMentor enlightened teacher]], the mentor mascot plays the dual role of teaching the protagonist about their destiny and powers, while at the same time adding that little bit of comic relief and cuteness. Even so, the Mentor Mascot takes its job {{serious|Business}}ly, and tends to accompany TheHero everywhere just in case the {{Mooks}} or the QuirkyMinibossSquad show up.

In a show (or other medium) where the {{Masquerade}} is of significant importance, the Mentor Mascot will simultaneously be the strictest enforcer and the greatest threat to said facade, since talking animals are usually ''not'' normal. This can usually be solved with [[NobodyHereButUsStatues pretending to be a stuffed animal]], after all, GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals, but will still be used for comedic effect at times, especially if the mascot is mentoring a grown man.

Oftentimes, the mentor is an OldMaster who was cursed into a helpless form, serving as a very good justification for why he is shepherding the RagtagBunchOfMisfits instead of using his great knowledge and power to save the world himself.

* ''Literature/NowhereStars'': [[MagicalGirl Keepers]] are conferred their powers by [[Messengers]], spirit beings that exist for the purpose. Even though only their Keepers can see them, a few have made art to show what theirs look like, resulting in a wave of toys and plushies based on them. Supposedly their are six of them in total, each of them with multiple Keepers they are responsible for, with Liadain's Messenger, Vyuji, resembling a humanoid dolphin girl the size of a small child. Messengers apparently view their Keepers as their "children" but how they deal with them varies from one to another.
