'''NordicFuzzCon''' (abbreviated '''NFC''') is an annual [[furry]] [[convention]] that takes place in [[Wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]].<ref name="NFCweb">[http://2013.nordicfuzzcon.org NordicFuzzCon 2013 webpage], retrieved 2013-05-09.</ref> [[NordicFuzzCon 2013|Its first iteration was in 2013]]. It is one of the largest furry conventions in Europe, with 5,335 tickets sold and 5,226 attendees in 2025.

==Mausie & Iris==
NordicFuzzCon's [[mascot]] is a lovable "[[raus]]" (combination of [[mouse]] and [[rat]]) known as Mausie.<ref>[https://nordicfuzzcon.org/About/Faq NordicFuzzCon FAQ] on the NordicFuzzCon website. Retrieved 2014-03-23.</ref> Mausie has grayish fur, brown eyes, and has a blue bow tied to his [[tail]]. Mausie premièred as a [[fursuit]] during the opening ceremony of [[NordicFuzzCon 2015]].<ref>[http://galleries.nordicfuzzcon.org/ImageView?ImageVPath=/2015/Events%20And%20Panels/01%20-%20Opening/IMG_8376.jpg NordicFuzzCon Gallery] Mausie meets the public. Retrieved 2015-03-23.</ref>

At the [[NordicFuzzCon 2019]] opening ceremony, Iris was introduced to share mascot duties with her cousin, Mausie.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NordicFuzzCon/status/1100869866767159299 NordicFuzzCon Twitter] Iris is introduced. Retrieved 2019-07-25.</ref> Like her cousin, she is also a raus. Iris has brown and beige fur, blue eyes, and has a baby blue bow tied to her [[tail]].

Pictures, reference sheets, and more information about the convention's mascots can be found on the [https://www.nordicfuzzcon.org/Convention/Mascots NordicFuzzCon website].

== Fursuits - Gotta Catch 'Em All ==
In 2017, NordicFuzzCon had Japan as the theme and introduced a game called Fursuits - Gotta Catch 'Em All. The way the game works is that each participating fursuiter gets a code written on their fursuit badge, and all attendees can enter that code into the NordicFuzzCon phone app or website to "capture" the fursuiter. When signing up as a hunter, attendees also chose a team to join. The game features lists of the most active hunters, most caught fursuiters, and the team with the most amount of points.

==Conventions==
As of 2025, eleven instances of the convention have taken place, plus one online convention. A twelfth is announced for [[NordicFuzzCon 2026|2026]].
