So.. there's a story to this one. [ EDIT] - Huge thank you to the community, Manda got his mask back and is slowly making a recovery.

This here deerie is a stag called Manda. He's been a deer of Endless Forest for four years now, and just recently is slowly returning from a break. However, he wants to remain unseen.
Some of you who knew Manda, knew that he wore the skull mask, orange pelt and candles on his antlers. However, he did not wear them because they looked "cool".
This is a true story. The first Halloween that I spent in Endless Forest was 2011, as I missed the earlier one in 2010. That was the Halloween Manda met BZD for the first time with his dear friend, Camomille. ( She was a friend of mine in real life as well as in the forest.) They both had the most amazing Halloween together with the other forest deer, and gaining the skull mask had them both scared and amazed of one another. It was a symbol of the ultimate fun they had that day, as well as the fun they'd be having in the future. At the end of that evening they stopped by to share the candles together, eventually falling asleep to the forest's mysterious atmosphere.
Camomille passed away two weeks after that Halloween.
Manda had the skull mask and candles to remind him of the times they had, and every cry that the skull let out when he called out made memories of Camomille return.
However, due to a stupid mistake, he lost the skull and candles forever, losing a part of his soul. This literally made me so sad I had to quit the game for several months... The reminder of Camomille was gone. That's why the broken face and antler in the image. Manda feels like his face is rotting away and bleeding, because the skull mask was meant to be with him to honor those times with his friend. Now he is ashamed and hiding his face, not wanting to show a face that rots away in sorrow and shame of that stupid mistake.
