 ===Origin===
-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 may also be 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. It could also be viewed as a mere extension of the shape and the curl on top being its stem. The lower body's different color might also reference the tradition of decorating gourds with paint.
