Ragnarok Monster Lore : Jakk
Jakk is a strange-looking monster with a pumpkin head and wearing a tuxedo. Nobody knows where it came from, however according to the monster scholars it might be a familiar of a demon from the demon realm.
It likes to chase girls who are good-looking, mistaking them for their "one true love".
Oda: The name Jakk comes from "Jack O' Lantern", the common name for the carved pumpkins that decorate homes around halloween. This is an old Gaelic tradition that originates from Ireland and Scotland ages ago. During the time of Samhain, it was believed that ghosts and other creatures were able to enter our world, and so people set up celebrations to welcome them.
The Jakk's lanky frame and ovoid head makes it most likely that he was inspired by the Jack Skellington character in Disney's Nightmare before Christmas.
