Hey! How come there's not a "fuzzy d20" option in the poll?!? 
Lacking that, I voted red dragon.

Has to be beholder with mindflayer as a fairly close second.
Weird lizard freaks like kobolds are in so much non-d&d fantasy stuff that they shouldn't be mascots.
If you showed anybody who didn't play (or even someone who did) a picture of a red dragon they wouldn't necesserily think d&d, therefore they shouldn't be the mascot.
Owlbears are just some other mutant freak like a minotuar, centuar and many other monsters.
Now beholders and mindflayers are unique to d&d they don't look like they belong to some other fantasy setting.
If I showed them to some one who didn't play d&d they'd be like, "wtf is that thing?" Not, "oh look a <insert generic monster here>!"
And they aren't half something, half something else (interesting but not terribly original these days, since half somethings have been done for thousands and thousands of years).
And I just think beholders are plain out cooler than mindflayers. Therefore I go with beholder.

Um, dude, it's like, Dungeons & Dragons. How could it be anything other than a dragon?

Hmmm...what about The Great and All Powerful Meepo riding a Red Dragon into battle against a Mind Flayer and a Beholder with the petrified statue of an Owlbear in the background?

Since you said "mascot", it's gotta be Meepo. If you'd said "symbol" or "most iconic monster" or something like that, then it would be the red dragon hands down.
If write-ins were permitted then Lidda, Tasselhoff, or even Uni might get my vote instead. Probably Tasselhoff, just because I haven't been the cause of nearly enough coronaries and anuerysms lately.

meepo, i like the scaly little dog head. the red dragon idea is overdone, they are paranoid, psychotic, megalomaniacs that have too much in common with my DM and my ex-girlfriend. Goooooooo MMMMeeeeeepo!

Can I cheat and stuff the ballot box with my choice; beholder?

I got to go with meepo. as someone said a mascot is supposed to be cute and cuddly meepo is the only one that fits that mold. He's supposed to be the one who helps you win the battle not the one you might happen to help win the day. Or to put it another way he's supposed to be subekei (sp?) not conan
