Circumstance: Combat
2d6
Special
Fire Breath
Can project fire from its openings; this breath weapon is in the form of a cone 5 feet wide at the base with a range of 5 feet in front of the creature. Anyone caught in the blaze suffers 2d6 points of fire damage; save vs. Dragon Breath for only half damage.
Special
Flight
Can fly (as the spell, at a rate of 20 feet per round) at will.
Special
Construct Immunities
Immune to poison, charm, and sleep; due to its nature it is also immune to fire.
Special
Vulnerability to Cold
Takes double damage from ice or cold.
Special
Candle Dependency
Water or wind-based attacks may snuff the monster's candle, if it fails a saving throw vs. Death Ray. If a jack o'lantern's candle is snuffed, it becomes instantly dormant; re-lighting the candle will restore it to life.
Special
Camouflage
When at rest or otherwise inert, it is impossible to tell from a normal fruit, as each can close its carved eyes, mouth, and other apertures and appear entirely ordinary.

A strange sentient pumpkin with a lit candle inside it
A Jack O'Lantern is a strange sentient pumpkin (or other such gourds or squash) with a lit candle inside it. That it was created by a mad wizard is obvious. Each individual jack o'lantern has a distinctive personality that is generally mirrored by the expression carved into its face. They are always encountered within a mile or two of the pumpkin patch where they originally grew. When a jack o'lantern is at rest or otherwise inert, it is impossible to tell from a normal fruit, as each can close its carved eyes, mouth, and other apertures and appear entirely ordinary.
