	'''Coolgator''' was formerly the primary mascot of the [[Gatorbox]] channel when it launched in 2012. He is a shirtless anthropomorphic alligator wearing aviator sunglasses. The original look of Coolgator was derived from an emoticon drawn in 2009 by the artist Captain Fiskers and in 2012 an updated full body version of the character was drawn by Rex Dragon to promote the Gatorbox project. Coolgator appeared in promotional trailers for Gatorbox where he was voiced by [[Draco]]. Unfortunately these trailers are not able to be re-released for archival purposes, though in 2021 the exact puppet used in the original trailers was sent in by [[Fandramon]] and appeared in a viewer mail segment of ''[[GatorUNbox]]''. Draco has mentioned reprising his role as Coolgator's voice and making some new trailers just for fun.

	Upon the transfer of ownership of the Gatorbox project from its original producers to [[Draco]] in 2013 Coolgator was retired and replaced with a new mascot to refresh and rebrand the show as ownership of the character's likeness was not included in the buyout. A stylized drawing of Feraligatr from Pokemon was used as a stand-in mascot (visible in the [[Extra Life]] 2013 marathon content) until [[Nessie]] was chosen as the channel's new mascot at the start of 2014.
