It can be picked up as an Improvised Weapon, called "Bones". When picked up, it appears as the hockey mask, but when the player walks away from the original location, it turns into a skull. When replaced, it turns back into the mask after a few seconds.

Near the Secret Area known as Super Secret Area, there is a small "Sea Monster" which swims in a large circle. It is essentially the same as the fish which can be found swimming in many areas and follows a set path. It cannot attack, flee, or be killed.
