Construct Jack-o'-lantern Halloween
Scarecrow

A jack-o'-lantern resembles a horrifying 7-foot-tall scarecrow with gangly limbs and a head that of a carved and lit pumpkin. It haunts the edges of remote towns and seldomly used forest paths and trails, terrorizing townsfolk and lonely travelers. It particulary enjoys tormenting and toying with its victims for a prolonged period before murdering them.

Spirit-Powered Constructs.

The jack-o'- lantern is an animated construct, powered by the bound spirit of evil, mischievous, and greedy humanoids. It is said that the first jack-o'-lantern was born from a bard who outwitted a powerful fey it earlier made a pact with. After the bard got older and was about to die of old age, the same fey captured his soul and infused it with a pumpkin-headed scarecrow. The peace of eternal rest stolen from it, the spirit became insane and turned its rage towards those it could.

Greater and Legendary Versions.

Witches and powerful fey such as hags usually bind jack-o'-lanterns with the spirits of those who broke agreements or tried to trick them, turning them into loyal minions who do their bidding. When a jack-o'-lantern is freed from its servitude and left to wander, especially if the bound spirit was that of a bard, it may continue to grow in power and knowledge. If left unchecked, become a dangerous threat to communities.
