“Bandabi (반다비),” an Asiatic black bear, is the official mascot of the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. In the name “Bandabi,” “banda” comes from “bandal” which means “half-moon,” (see the white crescent on the bear’s chest?). “Bi” has the meaning of celebrating the Games. The mascot symbolizes “strong will and courage” and is fondly associated with South Korea’s mythology, culture, and folklore.
