A banana slug?
The UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs are the athletic teams that represent the University of California, Santa Cruz.

UCSC's mascot is the banana slug (specifically, "Ariolimax dolichophallus"). In 1970, volleyball team member David Van Cleve created the mascot "Banana Slugs" for the UCSC volleyball team. He was concerned that, as sports began to gain in popularity at the institution, a team name or mascot did not exist.
