==History== | ==History== | ||
{{ | ===13th century=== | ||
== | The first instance of pumpkins coming to life happened during the [[Famine in Gallowmere|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.{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}}{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow|3}} | ||
===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 the affliction. | |||

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|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. | ====[[MediEvil II: Prima's Official Strategy Guide|Official Strategy guide]] 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. | ====An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters entry==== | ||
