Carbon Costume Raccoon
Thief from Root
In the asymmetric tabletop role-playing board game Root, the Thief is a member of the Vagabond faction. This bipedal raccoon is dressed in a gray tunic with yellow scarf, and armed with a wooden walking staff and dagger, all the better to steal your cards.
Raccaccoonie from Everything Everywhere All at Once
Chad (played by Harry Shum, Jr.) is a chef in an alternate universe who works with Evelyn at a hibachi restaurant in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Chad is the best chef at the restaurant where Evelyn works in this particular universe, but she soon discovers why… there’s a raccoon under his chef’s hat that controls his every move. To recreate the ‘Raccaccoonie’ costume, you have a few options. You’ll want to dress as a chef using white and blue as much as possible. But for the raccoon component, you can decide how much effort you’d like to put in. You can wear a blue chef’s hat and attach a raccoon tail hanging out the back, or you could wear a cute raccoon plush hat. If you’re willing to get a little more creative, you could cut slits into the bottom of a raccoon stuffed animal and thread two or three hard headbands through it to affix the toy to your head.
Sly Cooper
Sly Cooper (voiced by Kevin Miller) is a renowned thief. Which makes sense for a young man who comes from a long line of thieves. Whether he’s traveling through time, outwitting the authorities around the globe, or sneaking into places though too secure to rob, he’s the man with a plan. And the skills to pull it off!
Since Sly is a raccoon there are a few unique components to his costume. Grey ears, a grey tail, and grey SFX paint will mimic the raccoon look. Of course you can just opt for the tail and ears while skipping the body paint if you prefer!
His clothes are fairly straightforward. A blue cap and black eye mask really tip him off as a thief. A yellow bandana around the neck mimics his collar while a blue shirt, grey pants, and blue boots finish the main part of the outfit. Yellow fabric paint is handy for painting the cuffs of some blue gloves for an extra touch. And, of course, you’ll need his hooked staff.
