* Beak masks, whilst finding popularity in mask parties, originated as primitive gas masks for Medieval [[w:plague doctor|plague doctor]]s during the Black Death. The beak was reputed to be filled with scented materials, such as posies, roses, carnations, mint, camphor, ambergris, cloves, myrrh, or even a vinegar-soaked sponge, as at the time it was believed that "bad air" caused disease. Sometimes the materials which got filled inside the beak worked as a "filter", causing the doctors to have a smaller risk to be infected.

The Blighted Beak is a community-created cosmetic item for the Medic. It is a bird-like mask styled directly after the primitive respirators historically worn by plague physicians.

This item has two styles, named "Yersinia Pestis" and "Vibrio Cholerae". The "Vibrio Cholerae" style gives the hat a light leather appearance with black stitching while the lenses are made darker and more empty, as opposed to the glassy look of the default "Yersinia Pestis" style. Paint is also applied differently, either to the base of the beak or the lenses, depending on the style.
