Pumpkin Head

Pumpkin Head is a spirit entity that is the boss of Spirit's Grave in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Pumpkin Head also made a cameo in Super Mario Bros: Warriors of the Mushroom Kingdom where he is the boss of Pumpkin Ghostway as the third boss of Nightshift Boneyard.

Appearance and Biology.

As its name implies, Pumpkin Head has an invulnerable pumpkin as a head and a vulnerable torso and legs with a necklace. Pumpkin Head was also said to just be a host for a small glowing spirit that Mario should also attack.

Strategy.

Pumpkin Head is the third threat Mario must defeat in order to complete Nightshift Boneyard. Once Mario enters the room, the room as four lanterns with fire on each corner. But then, the lanterns go out and purple fog starts to come in and then some of the fog forms into Pumpkin Head's body with a small spirit inside and then a huge pumpkin drops from the ceiling onto the torso and then the battle starts. Mario must swipe at the vulnerable body, eventually causing it to disappear, leaving only the pumpkin on the ground. After this, Mario can throw the head and then a small spirit will appear out of the pumpkin and it will fly around the room, intent on killing him for disrupting its protective shell. Mario can kill the exposed specter with a few slashes from his sword. Once Pumpkin Head is defeated, it will become dizzy and fall to the ground with the specter becoming dizzy and vanishes with the body following and the head rolling by Mario until the lanterns turn on again.
