Raptors mascot goes all in with 21 Halloween costume changes in one night
He's known as one of the best mascots in the NBA, thrilling fans north of the border with his deft acrobatics and quirky antics. But on Halloween, The Raptor takes the show to a whole new level.
This year's performance, with the Denver Nuggets in town, was no different. In fact, The Raptor outdid himself in 2016, pulling off a plethora of costume changes that would make Lady Gaga proud.
Well, I'm exhausted. 21 costume changes in a game is a lot but I beat my record! Thanks for spending #halloweenraptor with me @raptors fans!

The Raptor got the night off to a strong start, channeling Michael Jackson with a costume from the King of Pop's 'Thriller' video. He even joined the Raptors Dance Pack for a quick performance.
