Patchwick

Patchwick prowls the endless pumpkin fields under a black moon, a monstrous guardian of the Pumpkinkind. His body is made of twisted wood, coarse hay, and stitched burlap, limbs bending in jagged, unnatural angles. His massive pumpkin head glows with ghostfire, eyes burning like coals, and a jagged grin that seems alive with malice. Vines writhe around him, mist swirls at his feet, and shadows cling to his form as if the very land obeys him. He stalks intruders silently, patient and predatory, striking fear into all who disturb the harvest. Few dare to cross him, and even fewer see the full scope of his power. Patchwick is a living emblem of the patch’s eerie magic, enforcing the rules of Hollow Veil while embodying its dark whimsy and danger. To meet him is to feel the chilling presence of Halloween itself, both sentinel and relentless monster.
