Crafting Mawdrey
Mawdrey is an Ascended backpack in Guild Wars 2 that can only be obtained by going through a series of challenges and literally growing it from a seed to a full plant! The name is a fun reference to Little Shop of Horrors, a musical where the protagonist's love interest is named Audrey. It comes with a secondary item, Mawdrey II (used to convert Bloodstone Dust into items), as a reference to the Little Shop of Horrors living-plant, Audrey II (named after the original Audrey).
