Background

Pumpkin is a secret playable character in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. The character can be unlocked by completing Joachim Mode. Pumpkin also appears as an Innocent Devil in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and Castlevania: Labyrinth of Love.

Pumpkin wields a unique sub-weapon, aptly named after itself. Unusually, this sub-weapon bypasses Death's defenses, making it the only one in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence that can be effectively used against him. True to the tradition of secret characters in Koji Igarashi's Castlevania games, Pumpkin is designed with a comedic twist—it has exceptionally low health yet possesses extraordinary super-strength, blending humor with its formidable power.

Appearance

The Pumpkin Innocent Devil represents the base form of the optional Pumpkin-Type family. While it has the potential to evolve into various forms, it remains notably weak, even when leveled extensively. Its primary benefit lies in the significant stat boost it provides to Hector, making it a valuable support companion despite its limited combat prowess.

Causing their power to materialize in the real world in the form of monsters. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal", compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"), Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (Passive; Creatures of the night's dark powers allowed them to rewrite the Grimoires to strengthen their dark powers greatly. It is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos. Their vital souls are causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle, or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires, Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten, where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world.

The Castle has doors sealed off without solving puzzles. This can extend to walls being sealed off where explosions will not affect it until the seal is gone), Mind Manipulation (Everything that enters the castle is under the control by the power of Dracula's castle, the ghost of Eric Lecarde needed to cast a magic barrier to bind himself so he could be free from the control of the castle. The Castle corrupts the minds of those who enter it, such as making Maxim Kischine feel strange ever since coming to it. It also corrupted the mind of Hugh turning him against Nathan with Nathan noting he's being controlled by Dracula. The castle increases one's dark desires, allowing Dracula to easily control them. The magic of Dracula's power that empowers the owl enemy also spurs it to violence), Madness Manipulation (The Castle warped Gergoth, a once-gentle beast and drove it mad), Size Manipulation (Magically enlarged a toad through the use of demonic baptism), Fear Manipulation (Even while far away, Curtis and Michelle felt malicious intent from the castle where their bodies seemed to squeal "run away". Michelle even being at the entrance to the castle had her body telling her to not go in and her leg muscles being petrified like stone), Curse Manipulation (The Curse status that spirits inflict comes from them absorbing the magic power around the castle.

The text alterations also make the monsters stronger. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal", compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification". Death was going to use Dracula's magic to rewrite Dracula's defeat to Trevor making it where Dracula defeats Trevor Belmont instead where Dracula would go on living in the rewritten grimoire with each grimoire being its own world and the grimoires influence extends into reality), Law Manipulation (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power, which alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality), Power Modification (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power, which the vital souls cause alterations of the Grimoire that can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations.

Pose

Pose is an Innocent Devil ability featured in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It is exclusively used by all Pumpkin-Type Innocent Devils. This ability does not require any Hearts to cast, but it is considered the least effective ability in the game in terms of combat. Despite its utility in no resource consumption, it offers minimal impact during battles, making it largely useless in practical terms. All Pumpkin does with this skill is several poses.

---

Other

Standard Tactics: Pumpkin due to its sheer nature as a childish pumpkin being is a wild card, using whatever it feels like doing.

Weaknesses

• Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night, and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content.
• Innocent Devil Weaknesses: When an Innocent Devil performs a special ability, its heart energy will be consumed, when all hearts are consumed, the Innocent Devil will no longer be able to perform any actions until it acquires more hearts.

Note

• Contrary to popular belief, holy attacks and the whips in Castlevania can affect and harm people that aren't apart of the creatures of the night. Leon's doppelganger can use holy water and holy attacks against him in this fight along with the alchemy whip despite Leon being a pure and noble warrior. Simon's doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero. Holy Water even works and harms enemies such as the "Holy Armor", a knight who has natural holy powers. Corrupted enemies such as Charlie Vincent, use holy water attacks on Carrie and Reinhardt. Characters like Jonathan Morris wear armor like the Holy Mail, an armor that reduces damage from holy attacks.

Trivia

• If Pumpkin stands still, it will hum Joachim's theme song, Melancholy Joachim.
• Pumpkin's dying cries are actually Joachim's cries in the English voice setting, only sped up. This happens in both games for the PlayStation 2, regardless of the voice language setting.
• Pumpkin reappears in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and Castlevania: Labyrinth of Love (pachinko game) as an Innocent Devil.
  • The Pumpkin Mace also refers to him, describing him as a "legendary hero". This would imply that his section in Lament of Innocence has some continuity to it.
  • Pumpkin also inspired the Pumpkin Head equipment item.
• The description of the Pumpkin Mace in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness refers to a "legendary hero". This is obviously a reference to the character Pumpkin from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, who was the third playable character unlocked.
• Pumpkin wears the Prince's Clothes.
• Pumpkin-Types are adapted from the character of the same name from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, and is described as an "legendary hero" in Curse of Darkness.
