Jack-o'-Lantern: Difference between revisions

Jack-o'-Lantern is based on an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack. The man is usually depicted as a tricky and mischievous person even in the face of great danger. The most famous tale involves Stingy Jack coming face to face with [[Satan]] tricking him several times in order to force deals with the devil. Once he does pass away, he finds himself unable to ascend to Heaven and unable to enter Hell due to his dealings. Satan however does give him a small ember to light his way while he wanders as the world as a ghost. Jack takes the flame and places it into a turnip which had been hollowed out making it into a lantern.

Jack-o'-Lantern's design is based around a carved-out pumpkin, or more precisely, a jack-o'-lantern. It holds a lantern in one of its hands which it normally waves when performing an attack. Its eyes usually have an orange glow, however, some depictions have small white dots as the eyes instead. It wears a light blue, crooked 'witch' hat with a white stripe above the brim. It also wears a dark blue robe which upon closer inspection, reveals it does not have a torso or arms. In [[Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II|Megami Tensei II]], however, it has a wildly different appearance. Unlike its design in most other entries, it lacks its robe, hat, and lantern. Instead, it has arms and legs as well as red sneakers. Its face has white dot eyes and a wide smile revealing a few teeth.
