Gourdling Traits by Tier
All Tiers
Gourdlings are the loyal minions of the Punkin King and are known to be both friendly and hostile. They are only around during the Dark Harvest Festival, and can be seen in Haven. While in Haven, they have traits similar to snipes, except for that they will not run away when you approach them. When in the Punkin King fight, they have similar traits to Zombies, except for substantially reduced damage and health, making them more of an obstacle than an actual enemy.
Some small harmless Gourdlings like this one can be found wandering around Haven.
Notes
They often make raspy noises.
