It kinda reminds me of that cat beast from Alice in Wonderland. No idea if it has something to do with the password though.

The only thing I can think about when I see that is a jack-o-lantern.

With Contra, if you reverse the last three letters it turns into con art.
BTW, what was the minecraft server ip?
If anyone needs my minecraft account, you can PM me, as I said a few pages back.

Same, its been a pretty productive day. Well at least regarding the riddle

The Cheshire cat?
