Derek the Dodo on the GTA Vice City Stories website.

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.

Trivia

Derek the Dodo may be a parody of Eddie Eagle, an NRA mascot that teaches kids about gun safety.
On WKTT's The Richard Bastion Show in GTA IV, the host mentions that people should look up to and can learn a lot from mascots such as Derek the Dodo.
