The Pumpking, also known as the Jack o' Lantern and the Pumpkin Patch, was a huge carved pumpkin in Lakeview Village during Dragonhollow's First Era.
Acey created the gigantic gourd while decorating Lakeview for the upcoming Holloween festivities. It was located on the southeast corner of town behind the Haunted House in a pumpkin patch filled with wheat and guarded by a scarecrow.
The pumpkin was constructed from orange and brown stained clay and its luminescent face was produced by flowing lava. A small cobweb-covered cut at the base allowed entrance into the hollowed-out interior. Inside, the heads of various citizens of the community were ensnared in cobwebs.
Though visitors often assumed the Pumpking hid something secret, in particular a portal to the Lava Cave, the only curiosity it held was an inaccessible wooden chest concealed in the pulp.
According to Lakeview Lost, on the eve of the First Bloodmoon, Archpriest Jack Firebane performed dark rituals for worshipers of Grim inside the Pumpking. As hordes of armor-clad monsters ran amok across town, the pumpkin's outer rind broke and lava poured into the center, causing the entire structure to erupt into flame over the maddening sound of Firebane cackling malevolently as his congregation prepared to arrive in the underworld.

Acey got into the Halloween spirit while designing the Pumpking by listening to "This is Halloween", a song from the 1993 movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The name was first used by Noa and continued by Deztro before being adopted by the community. It was a reference to a card in Yu-Gi-Oh! and predated the introduction of a boss by the same name in the video game Terraria.
