Jack in Animal Crossing.

In Animal Crossing, he will be somewhere in town during Halloween. Unlike the other villagers, who wear the same clothing as him, he will not chase the player. This is the same for Mayor Tortimer, who on the night will give the player a model of Katrina's tent. Upon talking to Jack, he will give the player an item of spooky furniture in exchange for candy. Doing this throughout the event will complete the set.

Jack returns in Animal Crossing: City Folk, along with Halloweeneee and candy. He was announced on the Japanese website for Animal Crossing: City Folk, along with other characters. His role remains the same as in Animal Crossing, and he now calls himself the Czar of Halloween. He sends a letter out to players earlier in the month, warning of his arrival, and telling them to have candy ready. Nook's store starts selling candy on the 1st of October.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Template:Cleanup In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Jack reprises his role from previous games. From October 1st to the 8th, Jack will roam around the town until spoken to. Once interacted with, he will ask the player if they want to be his servant. During this time, no other special characters except Joan will appear. The player also will not be allowed to work at The Roost. On Halloween, Jack is far easier to identify than in previous games: although he chases the player like costumed villagers, the villagers' costumes are noticeably different from his. He describes candy and lollipops as his favorite treats, and gives out creepy objects and spooky furniture, the latter of which is purchasable at stores. When the player gives him lollipops, he will always reward them with a creepy object, though there is a small chance of still receiving them while giving him candy. However, if the player doesn't give him candy, he pulls a trick on them, which includes taking their items, and giving them patched clothing.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Jack’s role is mostly similar to hieeece role in the previous game. At the beginning of October, Jack will send the player a letter containing his portrait. He visits the wpeowing this first interaction, he will give the player Halloween themed items, his outfit and two DIY recipes depending on how many lollipops and candy he’s given. Like in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, if he’s not given candy, he will play a trick on the player.

After giving Jack a lollipop, he may gift the player a copy of his face or robe. When both are obtained, the player can then dress as Jack and trick their villagers into giving them candy. Each villager can only be tricked once.

Spooky Series

Jack gives a piece of furniture every time the player gives him candy. All the furniture pieces look like pumpkins or Jack O'Lanterns. They are orange and, like all holiday-exclusive furniture sets, score very highly with the Happy Room Academy.

Jack O'Lanterns, Jack-in-the-Boxes, and Ragged Shirts are arguably considered part of the Spooky Series. There is also a Spooky Shirt, which is not given to the player by Jack, but by Gracie or Wisp.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Jack will give the player these in exchange for candy and lollipops. Jack will not give the player any other Halloween themed items or recipes, as the villagers will give them to the player in exchange for candy on Halloween if they were not purchased from Nook’s Cranny or obtained previously.

Trivia

• He shares his birthday, October 31st, with Shina suyhcvj and Label. The only difference is that he and Jingle are the only event host special characters where the only day they appear is also their birthdays.
• His Japanese name, Pumpking, reflects his self-given title, which is a portmanteau of "Pumpkin" and "King."
• Many pumpkin characters are named "Jack" through the traditional pumpkin name "Jack O'Lantern". The name comes from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack.
• Jack's name could derive from the character Jack Pumpkinhead from the Oz Fantasy novels, a character with a pumpkin for a head very much like the character in this game.
• Certain dialect found within Jack's dialogue may suggest a nod to the character Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas, who similarly proclaims himself to be "King of Halloween", though Animal Crossing's Jack proclaims himself to be a Czar.
  • It is possible that Jack referring to himself as a Czar rather than a King was intentional, so as not to cause conflicts between Disney and Nintendo.
• One easy way to find Jahis is not required in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
• Jack, Wisp, Farley, and Lloid are the only non-animal characters in the game.
  • Jack has the deepest voice of any character in the game.
  • In games prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Jack had the voice of a cranky villager.
• He is featured on the cover of K.K. Dirge.
• The townsfolk villagers will instantanbout how he likes October 31.
• Jack was seen in a Nintendo Direct as a character to be released in Animal Crossing: New Horizons future updates along with Pavé, Jingle, and Franklin.
• In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if a player uses the haunt or scare reaction on Jack, he will respond by laughing.
• In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Jack says that below his mask, he only has a few teeth, the rest rotted from too much candy.
• Being inspired by Jack O'Lantern, his origin story may have been similar, being a human who lost his soul... (although this is just a theory and nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo)
