The '''Killer Pumpkin''' is a Halloween elite that stands in [[Halloween Town]] — look to the left, in the pumpkin patch. The patch itself spawns the three types of carvable pumpkins used for [[Pumpkin Carving]].

== The Killer Pumpkin ==
The killer pumpkin is one of the tougher mobs in the area, and it can spawn as either a melee bruiser or a spell-caster (up to 160 Magery), so be ready for both [2].

=== Things to watch out for ===
* '''Spits acid when hit''' — every hit it takes has a 50% chance to make it spit acid at you (if you're within 12 tiles). The debuff (flavor-named "gooey nasty pumpkin hummus") lasts 10 seconds and does 25–30 damage per tick [2]. ***Keep moving so you don't take damage***
* '''Ignores safe zones''' — the pumpkin ignores peace zones, so it can start fights on you right inside town [2].
* '''Sees through you''' — it has 100 Detect Hidden, so hiding is pointless [2].
* '''Sheds its own buffs when hit''' — it automatically dispels its beneficial spells when damaged [2].
* '''Immune to bards''' — it cannot be charmed or provoked [2].
* '''Don't steal from its corpse''' — lift an item from the killer pumpkin and it instantly turns on the thief [2].

=== Loot ===
Killer pumpkins drop generously:
* '''Always:''' Wrapped Candy, a Pumpkin Carving Kit, and a Jack 'O'Lantern Mask [2]
* '''Plus:''' a double Ultra Rich loot pack [2]
* '''20% special drop:'''
** TOL era: an Obsidian Skull, Crystal Skull, Jade Skull, or a carvable tall pumpkin (or "gord" tall pumpkin) [2]
** SA era: one of five painted masks (Evil Clown, Daemon, Plague, Evil Jester, or Porcelain) [2]

== The Pumpkin Patch ==
Next to the killer pumpkin in Halloween Town, the patch spawns the three types of carvable pumpkins:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Pumpkin type
|-
| Tall Pumpkin
|-
| Green Pumpkin
|-
| Small Pumpkin
|}

These are the raw material for [[Pumpkin Carving]] — and on the TOL era, the killer pumpkin itself has a 20% chance to drop carvable pumpkins directly [2].

== Pumpkin Carving ==
Pumpkin carving is a holiday craft that uses your '''Cooking''' skill [3].

=== What you need ===
* A '''Pumpkin Carving Kit''' as your tool — killer pumpkins always drop one [2]. The kit wears out after repeated use ("You have worn out your tool!") [3].
* One pumpkin: Tall, Green, or Small [3].

=== How it works ===
Open the Pumpkin Carving gump and pick a design. There is no minimum Cooking skill, but your success chance climbs steeply with Cooking — at low Cooking you will mostly just lose pumpkins to failed carves ("You failed to create the item, and some of your materials are lost.") [3].

On success you get the carved pumpkin mask. High Cooking can produce exceptional-quality masks, and with a maker's mark [3].

=== Carvable Designs ===
'''Tall Pumpkin''' — 11 designs: Ankh, Bat, Demon, Pixie, Scalele, Skull, Spider, Spirit, Tree, UO, Witch [3]

'''Green Pumpkin''' — 12 designs: Ankh, Bat, Cat, Devil, Ghost, Owl, Skull, Spider, Swirls, UO, Witch, Witch Broom [3]

'''Small Pumpkin''' — 6 designs: Cat, Octopus, Owl, Skull, Tongue-Out, Two-Face [3]

== Tips ==
* Bring healing and water for the acid — it can stack up to ~300 damage over its 10 seconds [2].
* High-Cooking characters can farm carving: the pumpkin always drops carving kits, so you can restock your tool from the same mob that drops pumpkins [2][3].
