Gourgeist appears to be based on both {{wp|gourd}} and modern pumpkin {{wp|Jack-o'-lantern}}s. Its multiple sizes may possibly be a reference to the variety of sizes pumpkins and gourds come in. Its upper body is based on the {{wp|candle}}s within Jack-o'-lanterns themselves, with the curl being its wick and its hair-like extensions its dripping wax.
