The Carnival headdress is a wearable holiday item received from Diango. It was released on 15 February 2012, and was also released for the 2012 New Years Parties across multiple servers. The headdress was also dropped by Jagex Moderators during various events, such as RuneScape's 12th anniversary party at Draynor Village on 12 and 13 January 2013, many different 'stamping' events for the RuneScape Road Trip, many livestream events, the RuneRadio party hosted by Jagex Moderators during the 2012 Hallowe'en event in the Grand Exchange, and dropped by Jagex Moderators at some raffle ticket giveaways.
By right-clicking the headdress and selecting 'change-feathers', players can alter the colour of their headdress' feathers from pink to blue and back again. It can be stored in a Toy box in a player-owned house.

Trivia[]
- The update was accidentally announced in game on 14 February 2012, with a chatbox message from Diango claiming that the headdresses were already available when they weren't. The day later, the actual headdress could be claimed from Diango.
