What does a torn avatar signify?

In Yahoo Answers, a number of people have avatars which appear to be a tear in them (or perhaps an odd lightning bold). What does this signify?

    It became available at Halloween time. It's a lightning bolt - it actually flashes when the avatar is animated.

    In Avatars ( http://avatars.yahoo.com// ) Click on "Extras" > "Holidays & Events" > "Halloween" and it's the last item on Page 9
