— The Engineer addressing his new pocket buddy
 ”

The Pocket Pyro is a community-created cosmetic item for the Engineer. It is a small doll fashioned in the likeness of the team's Pyro, complete with a pair of matches in place of their napalm grenades. When equipped, it fits snugly into the ammo pouch on the Engineer's belt.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

The Pocket Pyro was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
