The KDE community's [[mascot]] is a green dragon named Konqi.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.kde.org/stuff/clipart.php |title=KDE-Clipart page |access-date=2010-11-20 |archive-date=27 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190627185158/https://kde.org/stuff/clipart.php |url-status=live}}</ref> Konqi's appearance was officially redesigned with the coming of [[Plasma 5]], with [[Tyson Tan]]'s entry (seen in the images) winning the redesign competition on the KDE Forums.<ref>{{cite web |title=Konqi, Katie and Friends |url=https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=254&t=109758&sid=34926676ac6764376249c370762cbc81 |access-date=11 March 2015 |archive-date=22 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200822092936/https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=254&t=109758&sid=34926676ac6764376249c370762cbc81 |url-status=live}}.

Katie is a female dragon. She was presented in 2010 and is appointed as a mascot for the KDE women's community.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://community.kde.org/KDE_Women |title=KDE Women—KDE Community Wiki |access-date=28 June 2019 |archive-date=11 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190611090437/https://community.kde.org/KDE_Women |url-status=live}}</ref>

Other dragons with different colors and professions were added to Konqi as part of the Tyson Tan redesign concept. Each dragon has a pair of letter-shaped antlers that reflect their role in the KDE community.[[File:Different antlers representing different Konqi professions.png|thumbnail|1000px|center|Antlers]]Kandalf the wizard was the former mascot for the KDE community during its [[KDE 1|1.x]] and [[KDE 2|2.x]] versions. Kandalf's similarity to the character of [[Gandalf]] led to speculation that the mascot was switched to Konqi due to copyright infringement concerns, but this has never been confirmed by KDE.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Timeline KDE 20 Years |url=https://timeline.kde.org/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210142519/https://timeline.kde.org/ |archive-date=2017-12-10 |access-date=2017-07-17}}</ref>
