What is the name of Iron Maiden's mascot?
Answer
Eddie
Answer
Eddie
Iron Maiden’s mascot is Eddie, also known as Eddie the Head.
Eddie appears throughout the English heavy metal band’s visual identity, including album covers, singles, merchandise, stage sets, and concerts. Rather than having one fixed appearance, he changes form to match the theme of each release or tour. He has been portrayed as a soldier, an Egyptian mummy, a cyborg, a lobotomized patient, and other macabre characters.
The character developed from a papier-mâché mask used as part of Iron Maiden’s early stage backdrop. Artist Derek Riggs then created the illustrated version used on the cover of the band’s 1980 debut album, Iron Maiden. That artwork established Eddie as a permanent part of the group’s image.
The other options are mascots or characters associated with different metal bands. Vic Rattlehead belongs to Megadeth, while Snaggletooth is associated with Motörhead. “Grim Reaper” is a generic horror figure rather than Iron Maiden’s named mascot.
