Description
Curcurbitetis
Cucurbitetis plants that grow in a dead body, and uses the body listening to their master, Maximingcu. When one is killed, they die, shooting rainbow colored fire everywhere. If a dead body touches the fire, it becomes a Curcurbitetis. The Cucurbitetis uses the mind of it's host to perform tasks for Maximingcu. If a beast touches the flame, alive or dead, it lives again if dead, and gains the ability to speak one language. They serve their master faithfully and like their master, have a pumpkin like head with vines covering their bodies. The Cucurbitetis can use both the carved in eyes on the pumpkin and the body's eyes.
