He wears a variety of animal masks when completing these tasks, each of which gives him special abilities. To finish the costume, apply fake blood liberally.
Zero Suit Samus
In Metroid, Samus Aran is an intergalactic bounty hunter out to get the Space Pirates and their leader Ripley. You were probably shocked the first time Samus removed her helmet to reveal that she’s a woman, but there’s no mistaking it when she’s wearing her Zero Suit.
TF2 Engineer
In Team Fortress 2, the Engineer is a friendly Texan with a knack for building things. He spends his time on the upkeep of his sentry gun, dispenser, and teleporters, and won’t hesitate to give the enemy Spy a good thwack with his wrench.
