The BSD Daemon is the mascot of the original Berkeley Software Distribution of Unix.[1][2] The name is derived from a common type of Unix application called a daemon, which is a program that runs in the background with typically no human intervention. The inspiration for the mascot comes from that the word daemon is also a former spelling of the word demon. The BSD Daemon is a red devil, and commonly carries a triton (also known as a pitchfork) to denote a daemon's forking of processes.
