Mystery of an animated toddler sprite in the Tau Ceti Station build

[Fazbeus]

When I was making fluff item sprites for myself and other people (while I was still playing on this server before I left), I often looked into the game files to use various clothing sprites and edit them to make my own ones. I started to look into other game files out of curiosity and stumbled upon weapons.dmi where I saw a sprite called "toddler" that was sitting on the floor and even had an animation of opening their mouth and flapping their hands in the air up and down. I have no idea what is this sprite's purpose is and why is it even in the Space Station 13 build to begin with. As far as I know, it wasn't removed from the build to this day for some reason and that is also very strange. I asked about this sprite on the Tau Ceti Station forums, but nobody really knew what is this about and I never got a real answer explaining this sprite's existence. I also tried to find this sprite in-game by setting up my own local server and spawning it in or looking somewhere else for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere or bring it somehow into the game.

What do you think about this? Post your theories here.


Here is a screenshot of it:

i spawned it in on sybil a few days ago and told the crew they had to protect the baby and it took 8 minutes before security was being assaulted by a pro-baby riot
