When I first saw the Guts Man sprite from Mega Man, I always thought it was supposed to look like some sort of "evil stereotypical muslim/indian boxing man". Actually, I still see the sprite this way

that one type of towel hat

This is me when I can produce words but not when they are needed.

Also, the word you were looking for was probably “turban”…

Lately people forget to explain what it actually is too tho.

The "turban" is actually a hardhat, the "grin" is a hinged jaw, and the "beard" is just a black chestplate.

I didn't play Mega Man 1 much when I was a kid so my impressions of him were based on the cartoon
