The Blighted Beak is a community-created miscellaneous item for the Medic. It is a bird-like mask, styled directly after the primitive respirators historically worn by Template:W. The "Vibrio Cholerae" style gives the Beak a light leather appearance with black stitching. The eyes are made darker, and more empty as opposed to the glassy look of the Yersinia Pestis style.

Trivia
- Beak masks, whilst finding popularity in mask parties, originated as a primitive gas mask for Medieval Template:Ws during the Black Death. The beak was reputed to be filled with scented materials, such as posies, roses, carnations, mint, camphor, or even a vinegar-soaked sponge, as at the time it was believed that bad smells caused disease.
- The contributors of the Blighted Beak also created the Grimm Hatte, another Bubonic Plague themed hat. They were submitted together through the Contribution page. [1]
- The styles available for the Blighted Beak refer to two bacteria species that were prevalent at the time. The default style, "Template:W", is named after the bacteria responsible for the Bubonic Plague. The alternative style, "Template:W", is named after a bacteria responsible for causing cholera in humans.
