With All Hallows Eve ever near, it’s time for another monster here. I once statted up the Pumpkin King, Jack, and I thought it would be good to bring him back. As such, I’ve made it my mission, to bring him back to Second Edition. So, enjoy now please this latest release of a 1st Edition Jack converted with ease.
With the holidays coming soon, ever do they loom, I bring to life a man from that beloved cartoon. The Nightmare Before Christmas from Mr. Tim Burton, a movie you’ve heard of, I’m ever so certain. It’s a movie filled with plenty of holiday cheer, but also lots of sights that fill hearts with fear. From the film comes a skeleton, no other is kinder, and now he’s come to life to play in Pathfinder. The great Pumpkin King, you know him as Jack, has all of his stats, including 2 claw attacks. I hope that you like him as it took lots of work, to stat up to life that most wondrous smirk. Now follow me as we go into this post, dear reader, and we will take a look at this great Halloween leader.

Hailing from the town of Halloween
Is this skeleton who is not so mean
Jack is his name, a man of delight
Who loves a good song as much as a fright
And always at his side, what appears to be fog
Is just his companion, Zero, his dog
Jack bears great power, completely unrivaled
Which helps the theatrics of his yearly arrival
At the time of horror and scares, he makes himself known
As the night fills with shrieks, howls, and moans
Once a year, it’s his holiday that rules
As the world fills with monsters and ghouls
The creeps get together, happy to sing
Of the return of the great Pumpkin King!
That’s it for this week! Please let me know if you would like to see some more childhood icons statted up. There’s a deep well of lots characters from shows and movies to draw from. If Jack visits your game world, or you have any request for a future Monstrous Physique, please drop me a line at KnowDirection@hotmail.com.
