    • If you succeed, you survive and live on as a citizen of the Space Safe Authority.

    • Spawns east of the Old Warehouse Cloud Save Station.

    • Drops the new Pumpkin Head Helmet.

    • During October each year and November 2025, he drops an extra random item with every defeat (similar to the Gambling Addict flaw).

    • Features 3 unique new attacks not seen in any other boss fight.
