A Gourd Leshy is a unique creature from the Pathfinder role-playing game, which has also been incorporated into Dungeons & Dragons through homebrew content and some third-party materials. Leshies are fey creatures that embody the essence of plants, and a Gourd Leshy, in particular, is a type of leshy that draws its form and power from pumpkins, squashes, or gourds. These plant-based creatures have a strong connection to the seasonal cycles of nature and are often tied to harvest festivals or agricultural practices.

Gourd Leshies, like other leshies, are typically small, animated plant beings, but their appearance is distinctive due to their gourd-like features. They may have bulbous, pumpkin-shaped bodies, vine-like limbs, and tendrils that can either serve as arms or decorative extensions. Their faces can sometimes resemble carved jack-o'-lanterns, giving them an eerie but endearing appearance. They are often characterized by their jovial and playful nature, though they can become fiercely protective of their domains, particularly when it comes to crops or sacred plants they tend to.

These creatures are often seen as guardians of the harvest and are naturally attuned to the earth. Their abilities are usually related to nature and the harvest. For example, they may have powers that allow them to manipulate plants, encourage growth, or even create illusions involving autumn-themed imagery such as swirling leaves or eerie lights. Gourd Leshies also have a strong connection to the cycle of death and rebirth, as their forms often come into being during autumn and fade with the winter, only to return with the next harvest season.

Gourd Leshies typically follow the whimsical yet serious morals of the fey: they are governed by the laws of nature, but they also appreciate fun and creativity. While not inherently malicious, they can be unpredictable, which makes them fascinating, yet sometimes perilous allies.
