Punkie

"Soon you will be my children!"

- Punkie

Summary
The undead reincarnation of William Punkie. He uses his Poison Splinter to weaken the Cast before going in for the kill with his Scythe.

Tracking
Punkie has jack-o-lanterns throughout the map. The jack-o-lanterns will periodically summon tracking gourds who will walk towards the cast and attempt to spot them by shooting goop at them. Additionally, all gourd minions may be interacted with by Punkie to sacrifice them, killing them but healing Punkie.

Dying to Punkie
When a Cast falls victim to Punkie and dies, they will respawn as a playable variation of the gourd effectively joining Punkie in his hunt for the remaining Cast.

"Kill the Legend" Condition
Punkie cannot be killed unless a special prerequisite is accomplished. 3 jack-o-lanterns will spawn around the map in random locations. The jack-o-lanterns can be located by their glow and the creepy lullaby that emanates from them. Cast may break the jack-o-lanterns by interacting with them. Once all 3 jack-o-lanterns are broken, Punkie may be killed. If Punkie is killed before every jack-o-lantern is broken, he will simply respawn.

Strengths

 * The ability to respawn while Punkie still has jack-o-lanterns on the map allows Punkie to play very aggressively.
 * Poison Splinter's ranged stamina damage allows Punkie to poke down Cast that are far away and catch up to them.

Weaknesses

 * Punkie has very loud footsteps making hiding and ambushing the Cast more difficult.
 * Punkie's tracking is weaker due to relying on AI Gourds to point him in the right direction.
