Pumpkin — Detailed Guide
A seasonal decoration
The Pumpkin is a seasonal Halloween item in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, tied to the ARK: Fear Evolved event. Placed in a base it serves as decoration, and its description suggests decorating it with paint in place of real carving.
Picking pumpkins
During the event, pumpkins pop up on the ground in front of you inside a puff of fog. Pressing the use key collects them, and each one gives anywhere from 1 to 10 Pumpkins. Our records also list one loot table that can contain them: 
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern.
Costume skins from the Cooking Pot
Pumpkins are an ingredient as well. A 
Cooking Pot turns them into 5 skins:
- Headless Costume: 30 Pumpkins
- Hockey Mask: 30
- Scary Pumpkin Helmet: 30
- Scary Dino Pumpkin Helmet: 30
- Strawman Costume: 20
In ASE the names end in Skin, as in 
Hockey Mask Skin. Back in the first Fear Evolved event, players could also summon a 
Witch Hat Skin with pumpkins at the 
Obelisks.
Weight and sturdiness
A pumpkin weighs 0.5, and a full stack of 100 weighs 50. Once placed it counts as a thatch structure, so nearly anything can damage it; only non-explosive ranged attacks cannot. Our records list it on 14 maps.
