Springourd

 (#019) is a dual-type Shadow/Plant Meta Monster introduced in the first generation.

It transforms from Popkin starting at level 32.

Like their predecessors, Springourd are large black spirit-like creatures with shadowy skin. Their heads are roughly trapezoidal in shape, with large sloping foreheads and faces located near the bottom of their heads. Their eyes are almond-shape and are angled downward; like Popkin, these eyes are yellow and have red rings surrounding their red pupils. Springourd have jagged glowing mouths and small pointed chins. Like Popkin, their long wispy arms taper into fingerless points. Their ear-like protrusions now have a glowing yellow opening that runs down the length of each, giving them a resemblance to rabbit ears. In addition, there are five glowing yellows spots on Springourd's chest. Springourd's pumpkin is smaller than Popkin's proportionate to its body. The pumpkin is shorter and wider and has begun to decay slightly.

Unlike the mischeivous-but-ultimately-harmless nature of Popkin, Springourd are ravenous ambush predators that use Popkin's jump scare tactics for deadly purposes. Springourd lie in wait in their pumpkins in isolated areas, allowing the glowing face of the pumpkin to lure in unwary prey. When the prey is close enough, Springourd leaps out, paralyzing its prey with fear. With the victim now immobile with terror, Springourd grabs them with its wispy arms and pulls them into its pumpkin lair regardless of the prey's size and devours it alive.



is based on both a jack-o'-lantern and a jack-in-the-box.

The name "" is a combination of the words "spring" and "gourd".
