Just what the heck did I see? (costume question)

So there I was passing through the Tiki Room in Pocket D when I saw a crab spider at the tailor. What caught my eye about this individual was that they had the usual wolf spider helmet(NOT the crab one) and what appeared to be one of the jawline/chin elements from the regular helmets (eg, selecting helmet and then selecting something like "Cyborg" under Detail 2 or 3). Sadly I didn't think to screenshot the item in question, otherwise I'd link it.

That got me to think about what I'd like an alt costume to look like, but when I went o check at the costume editor, I couldn't do it. I do have the 51 month reward, so I can get the helmet, and I tried to do it with the first slot on one of my SoAs, but no dice.

Now I've heard of the glitch concerning using a saved costume to bypass making the crab backpack visible, but I've never heard of something similar to get "extra" stuff to show up with an Arachnos helmet.

So my question is, just what was I seeing? Perhaps someone out there in forumland has seen something close?

My in-game spell check is 6 slotted for damage.

" I assure you, my good man, Nemesis is most definitely 'down with the street.' Word up, my homie, as it were."

Could've been a beard you were seeing. Although, not having the 51 month vet, I don't know if thats possible.

try any slot OTHER than your 1st slot, and you will be pleasantly surprised!!
