Pumpkin Latcher

The Pumpkin Latcher is a event enemy that will randomly appear in all biomes during the Fall Event.

Description
The Pumpkin Latcher is a large, devilish and mobile pumpkin creature, using its roots as tentacles for propulsion and defense. It has a large opening in its front that bears an unsettling resemblance to a human grin, and two seemingly vestigial leaves are found between its roots.

Behavior
When a Pumpkin Latcher spots the submarine, it will make a straight line for it. Once it is very close, it will latch (hence its name) onto the sub, and disable the shields for as long as it is holding onto the submarine. Three "tentacles" will appear inside, and cause a hull breach each. Once destroyed, every "tentacle" will create a Pumpkin Hatchling, making this creature extremely dangerous. Additionally, the Pumpkin Latcher will not release the submarine until all "tentacles" are severed in the interior.
