A normal pumpkin head (center), and the smaller spirit which inhabits the pumpkin and robe (upper left). Source A pumpkin head is the result of a powerful ghini possessing a pumpkin. As its name suggests, its towering body is comprised of an unusually large head resembling a massive jack-o-lantern, which rests upon a semitransparent robbed humanoid body. If its false pumpkin head is removed or sundered, the spirit's true form is revealed as a much smaller and spritely looking specter within the robe. Should this specter be allowed to acquire its false head again, or manage to form a new one, its robed body will reform and again provide armor-like protection for its true form. Undead Nature. A pumpkin head doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. Source
