Jack-o'Lantern, also called Jacklanton, is a recurring type monster in the series, first introduced in the original Wild Arms.
It is believed that the custom of making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween time began in Ireland and Britain. In the 19th century, "turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces," were used on Halloween in parts of Ireland, Wales and the Scottish Highlands.
God denied Jack a place in heaven, and the Devil, true to his word, did not take Jack into hell. However, he instead cursed Jack to endlessly wander the night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack then made a makeshift lantern out of a carved-out turnip and put.
