History

• Prior to 0.19, you could find hats with cold and fire resistance egos in ice caves and volcanoes.
• Prior to 0.14, helmets came in the following descriptive varieties: winged, horned, crested, plumed, spiked, or visored. These descriptions changed the tile used to represent the helmet but had no other in-game effect.
