Trivia
- Beak masks, whilst finding popularity in mask parties, originated as a makeshift 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.
- The style available for the Blighted Beak, "Template:W", is named after a bacterium that causes cholera in humans.
- The default style of the Beak, "Template:W", is also named after a bacterium, the one reponsable for the Bubonic Plague.
