An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.
The Pumpkin King are large masculine fae standing twelve feet tall. All lanky limbs that twist like the stems of a pumpkin. They have brown splotched, green flesh. They have eight long arms with rounded claws for playing strings rather than rending flesh. Large feet spread out look roots to keep their towering mass stable. Their heads are topped with large gourds, normally pumpkins, carved and filled with fire. Often, they have a selection of heads for different moods.
The Pumpkin Kings are the most powerful Fae of the Death Court ruling Caste blessed with the ability to compose such music that it can bend and shape the movement of the Dance itself. The Pumpkin Kings make such wonderful sounds they can ensnare the hearts of most Fae.
The Pumpkin Kings are Lords of the Death Court serving as the concubines of the Aegrit, Composers, Diplomats, and as protectors of the Death Court.
Like most Fae Pumpkin Kings are eternal and if their mortal body is destroyed, they will reappear at their designated bed. They never age and remain appearing as fresh adults, or whatever age they choose to appear as. The Pumpkin Kings have few weaknesses but are often cursed with a melancholy boredom, disinterest in everything but writing the perfect song and are driven into deep dark depression after each success driven to make something even better.
