This is a cool image from Dungeon Inspirations, the walking stick of Charles Darwin!
There’s a cool short write-up about the walking stick at the Dungeon Inspirations site and I recommend going to take a look.
I’m a rather big fan of science and hold Charles Darwin in high esteem, all the more for him having such a cool walking stick. But I can’t help imagining a scenario where he holds this staff aloft, lightning strikes, and is revealed to be Orcus, Demon Lord of the Undead in disguise.
I’m sure the reasons for this masquerade will become clear after his new tome comes out, Undead, Demons, and Unnatural Selection.

Given the poor state of his health and motley of disabling conditions he suffered coupled with this walking stick, it would be easy enough to make Charles Darwin a necromancer in a fantasy or horror game set in Victorian-era England.
Perhaps in such a gaming universe, the undead Darwin lies confined in his tomb by the holy aura of Westminster Abbey waiting to be released to continue his experiments and studies.
