Liberty mascot Ellie the Elephant and Lynx mascot Prowl are beefing

We love a good, petty mascot beef situation. TURN THIS UP.

This story was updated to include post-championship thoughts from Ellie.

New York Liberty mascot Ellie the Elephant and Minnesota Lynx mascot Prowl are beefing, and we can’t stop laughing.

It’s no secret that Ellie is the best WNBA mascot. Many have tried to come close to her aura (sorry, Skye, the Lioness) but haven’t even remotely been close. So, of course, with the WNBA Finals happening, Ellie stayed true to her brand and brought her A-game, including arriving in a custom jacket to show off during pregame tunnels.

Ellie’s seemingly high profile has caused Prowl, Minnesota’s mascot, to up its tactics. After a video surfaced of Ellie giving Courtney Williams’ dad some grief during a Finals game at Barclays, Prowl teamed up with Courtney’s father to rewatch the video and send Ellie a message to “bring it.”

Of course, Ellie had to respond with some hysterical next-level trolling.

Then, Prowl had something to say, and now there’s BEEF.

But it gets better (or worse, in Minnesota’s case). Liberty star Jonquel Jones seemingly had no idea Prowl existed.

UPDATE: After the Liberty won its first championship, the beef is seemingly over, and Ellie got the last laugh.
