costumed character
The term costumed character generally refers to a costume that covers the performer's face. These range from theme park "walk-around" characters, the mascots of corporations, schools, or sports teams, some novelty act performers, to personal fursuits. Occasionally the term is extended to include theme park characters with the performer's face visible.
