Wait, am I seeing things!? What is this on my iconic WHM robes!?



Here's another straight-on shot of it without the outline drawn on:



I have so many questions. Why is there a duck on my robe? What do ducks have to do with WHM? Or, if it's not a duck, what is it? No, scratch that last one, it is definitely a duck.
Well, considering the original WHM relic staff Thyrus canonically has petrified birds entombed on the top of the staff (according to the artist who designed it), I'm not surprised at all (that's the AF 1.5 set though, the original AF1 set just has a plain brown bag with a leaf motif on it, so the AF 1.5 sets are always slightly 'different' to the default. But yeah, still creepy. ).
