Basic Information[]

The Great Pumpkiru is an NPC and one of the two Pumpkirus.

This friendly trader is a large orange and green colored half-well-dressed Miru who is capable of speech and seemingly somehow intelligent. Players can only meet him and (more rarely) his son at night on the surface world of all Creativerse game worlds during the annual event Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign for ca. one month around Halloween.

During Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign, The Great Pumpkiru tells players that candy has been stolen from him. So he will offer Halloween themed items, rare seasonal Recipes and sometimes Halloween-related Costumes for Pumpkiru Candy as a Trade item.

Players can collect Pumpkiru Candy by hunting Ghost Creatures during the night and completing Idol Events that require to defeat red ghostly large Creatures that can be summoned by placing Idols (Haunted Idols, Infused Haunted Idols, Unleashed Haunted Idols) that can be obtained during the seasonal Halloween event month.

Health: Unknown. It is possible, but not recommended to kill the polite Great Pumpkiru
Time to tame: None. The Great Pumpkiru doesn't like collars. He already wears an elegant bow tie
Attack(s): None. Even when being attacked, The Great Pumpkiru will not fight back, nor will he flee
Location: Wanders the surface in all biomes at night during Halloween event-times

General information[]

The Great Pumpkiru is the first cognitive NPC (non-player-character) that was introduced to Creativerse on October 18th 2017 on the live servers, and a month before that on the preview server/s.

He is friendly and willing to trade with players, however not as well-spoken as his son, Pumpkiru Jr. who was introduced to Creativerse a little later than his father.

The Great Pumpkiru wears a black Top Hat with elegant stripes, a black bow tie and a golden backpack looking a lot like a treasure chest that has a visible shine in the darkness. Pumpkiru Jr. refers to him as his "father". Other than these accessories, The Great Pumpkiru does not seem to wear any actual clothes.

This NPC is useful for trading in Pumpkiru Candy that can be collected through Halloween event-times by hunting Ghost Creatures or by placing Haunted Idols, Infused Haunted Idols and/or Unleashed Haunted Idols and then completing the combat event that these Idols will immediately initiate upon being placed.

Compass indication[]

Similar to when Keepas are near, players are notified when The Great Pumpkirus and/or his son, Pumpkiru Jr., are close - by pumpkin-like colored icons that appear on their compass on top of the screen.

The symbols are located under the compass with a thin green line on the compass itself, and if more than one Pumpkiru are close, then several icons can show up, often in different sizes depending on the distance of the Pumpkirus to the player character.

The Great Pumpkiru and his son, Pumpkiru Jr. are both indicated by the same symbol that resembles the reddish orange face of The Great Pumpkiru with his top hat and a green circle, perhaps hinting at the thorny vines that serve as straps of the chest that The Great Pumpkiru is wearing on his back.

Different from Keepa Arcstones, Pumpkiru icons are permanently visible as long as Pumpkirus are within a certain proximity. Like the skull icon indicating Death Statues, the Pumpkiru symbol will get larger when the player gets closer to the according Pumpkiru.

Sometimes, when two Pumpkiru icons are close to each other on the compass, this can mean that Pumpkiru Jr. can be found there together with his father, The Great Pumpkiru.

Spawning[]

Both Pumpkirus will only appear at night during event-times, especially around Halloween, like from October 18th 2017 up to November 15th 2017 during the first Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign, also during the second Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign from October 24th 2018 until November 14th 2018 and during the third Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign that started on October 17th 2019 and ended on November 19th 2019.

During these times, The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. will spawn solely at night on solid natural blocks in dark areas on all surface regions of any Creativerse game world, starting a little later than common Night Creatures, around ingame time 10:37 - 10:47 PM.

Since Pumpkirus will spawn as soon as players enter new areas (only on solid blocks, not in liquids), it is recommended to run or fly over the landscape in order to make The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. spawn eventually.

The Pumpkiru symbol on the compass will be of great help to find them, even though the red color and golden chest of The Great Pumpkiru are pretty well visible in the dark from a distance too. Pumpkiru Jr. is not so well visible though.

However, since they are Night Creatures, both Pumpkirus will burst into blue flames when being hit by sunlight (usually starting around 5:12 AM).

The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. can be "saved" from burning by pushing them into Caves with your ArcTek Gauntlet or walling them in so that they will prevail even during daytime. However, if all players leave the area, the Pumpkirus will eventually vanish/despawn.

You can still trade with Pumpkirus while they are already burning, but they will quickly perish and vanish, so it is not recommended.

Neither Pumpkiru Jr. nor The Great Pumpkiru can be spawned on Mob Spawners.

After purchasing a Mysterious Bauble from any of the Pumpkirus during the event, players can summon The Great Pumpkiru, but not Pumpkiru Jr., at any time. He will not spawn directly in front of the summoning player character though, but somewhere close by, at (approximately) the same level of altitude. Pumpkirus burn away quickly in sunlight, so it's recommended to only summon them while in a cave or a closed-up room without any translucent blocks/objects in walls or ceilings.

Behavior[]

The Great Pumpkiru wanders the surface world aimlessly, slowly, and he often takes breaks or even little naps. He does not flee from player characters nor does he attack them. When players start to fight him, he will not flee nor defend himself.

During Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign, you can activate the Pumpkirus like any Pet or activatable object by clicking your right mouse-button or pressing "f" (as the default key) while pointing your cursor at a Pumpkiru (either The Great Pumpkiru or Pumpkiru Jr.). When activated during the Halloween event, a window will pop up that allows players to trade with the Pumpkirus.

Combat[]

Pumpkirus can be killed by players, but will never leave any Loot Bags, different from the many Ghost Creatures that appear on the surface of all Creativerse game worlds during the same event-times at night.

The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. will not fight back nor even budge, but endure being hit with dignity and in the end will vanish in a puff of smoke.

Loot[]

None. Pumpkirus do not "drop" loot any time when being killed by players, not even at a random basis like Ghost Creatures. The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. also do not have any pet-harvest for you.

Instead of "loot", their wares can be acquired from them only via trading with them. To initiate a trade, players must press their assigned "interact" or activation key ("f" by default or the right mouse button) when looking at a Pumpkiru.

If you talk more often to the same Great Pumpkiru or Pumpkiru Jr., their offers will not change, only their comments might.

Taming[]

The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. cannot be tamed. The Great Pumpkiru is already a quite civilized being, and his son, Pumpkiru Jr. is an even more well-mannered one.

Trading during the Halloween event Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign 2019[]

As said, the Pumpkirus will offer many Halloween-themed rare Recipes, items, seasonal Costumes and even non-craftable collectible potions when "activating" them by clicking your right mouse button or by typing "f" while pointing your cursor at them:

Featured in 2019[]

Some of the offers are account-bound and are supposed to only be purchasable once in the TAB "Featured":

Whenever you will buy one of these offers, they will vanish from the Pumpkirus' list of offers.

However, there are also 5 rare Halloween-themed Recipe Pages in the "Favorites" TAB that can be bought more often than once in order to be stored and shared with other players, but can only be learnt once per player/account:

Items[]

In the TAB "Items", already crafted Halloween-themed items could be bought, however this would not unlock their crafting recipes:


Pumpkirus' Treasure Chests 2017[]

During the first Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign from October 18th 2017 up to November 15th 2017, The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. offered Treasure Chests with a random selection of different items and recipes in random amounts:

Pumpkin Treasure chests[]

Any Pumpkin Treasure (low tier chests bought with 20 candy) would mainly contain already crafted Haunted Nights blocks and objects that were already introduced in 2016, often together with some of the new bombs (Scare Flares and/or Flaming Skulls), Haunted Fireworks and/or (more rarely) non-craftable Marigold Potions, but no crafting recipes at all.

Royal Pumpkin Treasure chests[]

Royal Pumpkin Treasures (medium tier chests bought with 50 candy) would only have a "chance" of containing crafting recipes (so they often will not), but would still provide players with already crafted rare Halloween-themed items like Vlad-a-Rangs, Scare Flares, Flaming Skulls, Haunted Fireworks, bottles of Bat Juice, Marigold Potions, Candy Skull Banners, Candy Skull Statues, Candy Skull Candles, Red Candy Skull Candles, Blue Candy Skull Candles and/or Yellow Candy Skull Candles. Please note that Bat Juice and Marigold Potions could and still cannot be crafted.

Pumpkiru's King Treasure chests[]

Pumpkiru's King Treasure (highest tier chests bought with 100 candy) would contain the same type of items that the Royal Pumpkin Treasure chests provide, but one guaranteed rare crafting Recipe for a random Halloween-themed item.

After learning such recipes (by right-clicking on them in the inventory or dragging them over the player character model on the right side of the inventory) these Recipes would be permanently added to your crafting menu and would be available on all game worlds, even on those that have the option "world bound recipes" enabled.

To receive the content of the chests that players had obtained from The Great Pumpkiru and Pumpkiru Jr. (or from unlocked reward bundles from the Pumpkiru's Community Candy Campaign), they had to place the Pumpkin Treasures, Royal Pumpkin Treasures and/or Pumpkiru's King Treasures from their quickbar into the game world. Different from storage containers, these chests would then automatically open after displaying a special animation.

Players could right-click on these chests or activate them (by typing "f" as the default key) while pointing your cursor at them even without waiting for the animation to finish if in a hurry.

For additional effects, players could open these chests close to wild yellow Pigsies, but also other Creatures like all peaceful surface Leafies (including Autumn Leafies, Dried Leafies and Mossy Leafies) would react like they were being charmed by these chests when they were opened somewhere close to them.

Trivia[]

  • The Great Pumpkiru seems to be a rather friendly and somehow literate Miru, while all other Mirus in Creativerse are animal-like Creatures that seemingly cannot talk, and most of them are highly aggressive towards player characters
  • Even though more than only one "The Great Pumpkiru" can be seen not far from each other at the same time on the game world occasionally, the event information and his name suggest that he is a single entity
