Constructor's Note
This is part of a series of crosswords in which a particular shape is revealed once complete. In this grid, a number of cells are over-stuffed in two thematic groups (both with a bonus element) - connect the cells of each group to reveal the shape of something that's also stuffed and hiding in the grid.
