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.
