Pumpkin (also known as Jack-o-Lantern) dragons were released and were only available on Halloween 2009. They are rare and only breed with [[Pygmy dragons]], but during their breeding season they can breed even with other Pumpkins, with a lower success rate. It's also possible that during Halloween Pumpkins with a Pygmy mate will produce Pygmy eggs. There isn't a limit about their number on a scroll, as [[TJ09]] said in their breeding official announcement "Remember that there was no limit on these dragons, and that carries over to this year. In the words of the pumpkin dragon's creator, Christmas and Valentine's Day are about giving, but Halloween is about grabbing as much candy for yourself as you can".

'''Pumpkin Dragons''', or '''Halloween 2009 Dragons''', were the [[:Category:Holiday|Holiday]] species given out during [[:Category:Halloween|Halloween]] of 2009. Unlike dragons of other holidays, Halloween dragons can be either male or female and do not have a scroll limit set for them. They are only capable of producing more Pumpkin eggs during a certain period when Halloween is celebrated in October. They can still be bred to all year round, producing their partner's breed of egg. Pumpkin dragons are unique in that they can only breed with [[:Category:Pygmy|Pygmies]] and other Pumpkins.

The lack of a scroll limit for Halloween dragons was explained during one year's event by [[:Category:TJ09|TJ09]]: ''"In the words of the pumpkin dragon's creator, Christmas and Valentine's Day are about giving, but Halloween is about grabbing as much candy for yourself as you can"''.
They were usually called "Harvest Dragons", but with the release of the actual Harvest dragons on the "10 on 10-10-10" release, the use of the name for the Pumpkins was abandoned.
 
   
 
Pumpkins were originally nicknamed "Harvest Dragons", but with the release of the actual [[Harvest Dragon]]s in 2010, the use of the name for Pumpkins was abandoned.

Pumpkin Dragons, or Halloween 2009 Dragons, were the Holiday species given out during Halloween of 2009. Unlike dragons of other holidays, Halloween dragons can be either male or female and do not have a scroll limit set for them. They are only capable of producing more Pumpkin eggs during a certain period when Halloween is celebrated in October. They can still be bred to all year round, producing their partner's breed of egg. Pumpkin dragons are unique in that they can only breed with Pygmies and other Pumpkins.

The lack of a scroll limit for Halloween dragons was explained during one year's event by TJ09: "In the words of the pumpkin dragon's creator, Christmas and Valentine's Day are about giving, but Halloween is about grabbing as much candy for yourself as you can".

Pumpkins were originally nicknamed "Harvest Dragons", but with the release of the actual Harvest Dragons in 2010, the use of the name for Pumpkins was abandoned.

Under the old Breed sort, these dragons sorted as "Halloween 2009 Dragon" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name.
