The Lore Behind the Webster Gorlok

At Webster, we pride ourselves on creating a campus as unique as you are, and that includes our mascot! The Gorlok is Webster's very own legendary creation and exemplifies the innovation, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking we encourage in our students, faculty and staff.

Get to Know the Gorlok! 

Meet Our Mythical Mascot

The Gorlok is a mythical creature, uniquely created just for Webster University!

It has the paws of a speeding cheetah, the horns of a fierce buffalo and the face of a dependable Saint Bernard.

The myth of the Gorlok represents the high standards, atmosphere of fairness and good conduct that are so important to Webster University.

The name was chosen in June 1984 and takes inspiration from the intersection of Gore and Lockwood avenues, considered to be the heart of “Old Webster."

Webster University ran a contest in October 1984 challenging applicants to submit a sketch and description of what they thought a Gorlok would look like. The winning entry was a photograph of a furry creature holding a hand-held pump sprayer.
