Konqi
Konqi Konqueror is the current mascot for the KDE community, a small cheerful green dragon.[1] He appears in KDE software, and on many websites, including the KDE homepage. The name "Konqi" was chosen after Konqueror, the KDE web- and file browser. His creator is Stefan Spatz. Konqi appears in 3.x versions of KDE. In KDE 2.x, the mascot was a wizard called Kandalf, but Konqi also appeared in KDE 2.x on the KDE crash dialog.[2]
Katie
Konqi has a girlfriend named Katie.[3] Katie is also the mascot of the KDE women's project.[4] Konqi and Katie made their costumed appearance at the KDE 4.0 Release Event in Mountain View, California, USA and Camp KDE 2010.[5][6]
Kandalf
Kandalf was the former mascot for the KDE community during its 2.x versions. He was subsequently replaced by Konqi, a green dragon, possibly due to copyright infringement issues related to Kandalf's similarity to the wizard Gandalf (from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings).[citation needed]
Kandalf is also a model of computer chassis developed by Thermaltake.
