'''Derek the Dodo''' is a fictional dodo used by [[Ammu-Nation]] for advertising circa [[1984]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. Derek is used to entice children into using guns at Saturday Safety Fun and to shift blame to "anti-gun zealots". A likely reason for using the dodo as a mascot is that the bird is extinct, which pokes fun at firearms and hunting.
