Gourdian Spirit Badge
A field of pumpkins may look peaceful. That does not mean it is unguarded.
Conjure Guards and Relic Guardians cast the Gourdian spell upon a field of squash, pumpkins, or gourds. A few markings with a Thyrcasting needle, and the crop is on gourd. Should danger approach, a waiting Gourdian leaps to life as a defender of twigs and vines, topped with a proper gourd head.
Once activated, a Gourdian can shamble about for up to 33 minutes before collapsing into a messy pile. It is a brief career, but an enthusiastic one.
An unactivated Gourdian can wait up to 33 days for its moment. If no danger calls it into service, it simply rots in place—a symbol of unutilized potential. Even a pumpkin can have unfinished business.
Ranger Fact: A Gourdian waits up to 33 days to activate and can shamble about for up to 33 minutes once awakened.
Point Value: Worth 10 Glory Points toward your Monster Rangers badge collection.
