Pumpkin Plants were fruits brought to life and corrupted by magic. The usual cause of this were the spells from Zarok's spell book.
History
13th century
The first instance of pumpkins coming to life happened during the famine near the end of King Peregrin's reign. The king ordered his Court Magician Mazok to boost the kingdom's sickly pumpkin crop, but Mazok's spell backfired, turning the pumpkins into monsters.[3][3.1]
14th century
Pumpkins came to life once again a hundred years later when the evil sorcerer Zarok installed his very own prized pumpkin, the Pumpkin King, as their monarch. The Pumpkin Witch Wartilda employed the resurrected hero Sir Daniel Fortesque to deal with it.
19th century
After Zarok's spell book fell into the hands of the power-hungry industrialist Lord Palethorn, pumpkins once again came to life, this time in London's Kew Gardens. Through dark magic, civilians present in the area began transforming into pumpkins as well. Luckily, the ancient hero Sir Daniel Fortesque was there to save the day, collecting antidote from the pumpkins to cure the citizens from their affliction.
Gameplay
MediEvil 2
Official Strategy guide entry
These perilous plants spring up from the ground and attack, lashing out at Dan with their long pointed "tongues." For that reason, he'll want to keep his distance and use the throwing Axe to take them out. When a Pumpkin Soldier comes into contact with civilians, it will start to turn them into monsters as well - replacing their heads with pumpkins! Sir Dan will have a limited amount of time to use the Antidote on the victims before they, too, become Pumpkin Plants.[2]
MediEvil: Resurrection
An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters entry
Pumpkin plants are truly ferocious fruit. Their infamous spit and tongue attacks have driven fear into the heart of many a shrub gardener. In terms of weapon selection one will find that sharp bladed weapons elicit the juiciest and most satisfying damage.[4][4.1]
Behind the scenes
Development
On his blog, Jason Wilson described Pumpkin Plants as his "version of the MediEvil equivalent of a Triffid."[5]
