I am accustomed to trees and fungi that move, but have never encountered a gourd.

[ It's really quick interesting, all things considered. Especially how hacking out an eye followed by a tooth almost immediately made it go still - she had been expecting more of a fight (though still not enough for her to change into full combat gear), so that was somewhat of a surprise. ]

It is nearing the season of All Saints' Wake, so I imagine something spooky would be the preference.
