Rhinelander Hodags

The Hodag became the official symbol of Rhinelander, and lends its name to numerous Rhinelander area businesses and organizations. The city of Rhinelander's web site calls Rhinelander "The Home of the Hodag." A larger-than-life fiberglass sculpture of the Hodag, created by a local artist, resides on the grounds of the Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce where it draws thousands of visitors each year.

The Rhinelander Hodag is one of the most unique mascots in the country, and is the fiercest, strangest, most frightening monster ever to set razor sharp claws on the earth.
