Health: 140

Resources: Fe (2)
Popularity: -15 in the folklore of mountain folk

Talents:
None

Powers:
undead Spirit of Vegeance: Pumpkinhead is a summoned spirit, given flesh through a binding of a willing host and a dead body. The creation of Pumpkinhead requires the use of black magic, and has been so far overseen by the mountain witch Haggis. Once created, Pumpkinhead rises and performs a deed of vengeance for the summoner, possessing the following abilities:
  • Telelocation: Victim: Pumpkinhead can track the person who vengeance sought against with Am (50) ability, and will not lose the trail through any means. If people attempt to help the victim or hinder Pumpkinhead, they become bound within the curse as well, and will be dealt with accordingly
  • Undead state: As a spirit of vengeance, Pumpkinhead cannot be harmed easily through conventional means, and possesses Rm (30) resistances to physical and energy damage, and is immune to toxins, poisons, disease, and aging. Pumpkinhead does not need to breathe, eat, or sleep.
  • Terrifying Visage: Pumpkinhead is terrifying to behold, especially to its victims, forcing them to make an Ex (20) Psyche FEAT or stop dead in their tracks.
  • Hypnotic "Voice": As seen in the first movie, Pumpkinhead can mesmerize its victims to emerge from protection or safety with Ex (20) abilty. Pumpkinhead doesn't speak, but the victim hears whispers and it places them in a trance. The sight of a cross or other holy object breaks the trance.
  • Symbiotic Link: Summoner: Pumpkinhead possesses a symbiotic relationship with its summoner, allowing the summoner to see the actions of revenge firsthand with Am (50) ability, even if the summoner doesn't wish to see them.
  • Natural Weaponry: claws: Pumpkinhead's claws can easily shred steel, metal, woods, and stone. Pumpkinhead's claws can do In (40) damage, which is considered mystical as well and it halves body armor.

Contacts:
Although it has no real contacts, it is connected to its summoner and the witch Haggis.

Limitations:
Bound to its summoner: Pumpkinhead is bound to the one who has commissioned the witch Haggis to summon it. The life forces of both are tied together, so to destroy one, someone would need to destroy the other. The summoner's dead body is then used to 'seed' the next Pumpkinhead. If the summoner is stopped or killed, Pumpkinhead dies. At the same time, Pumpkinhead can be killed by his summoner at the cost of their own lives.
Hideous visage: Pumpkinhead has a -2cs reaction bonus even if the psyche feat is made due to the unnatural state of it.
Unholy: Pumpkinhead cannot cross holy spots or enter holy ground due to its nature. Crosses do not repel it, but faith might.
