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.
