The Horseman's Blade

The Horseman's Blade is an auto-swinging sword which summons homing Pumpkin heads after striking an enemy. It is currently the second strongest sword in the game, being beaten only by the Terra Blade by 13 base damage. However, this weapon's special ability can do more damage per swing than the Terra Blade. Despite it being called Horseman's Blade, it drops from Pumpking.

Trivia

 * This weapon is, like the Headless Horseman, a reference to the Headless Horseman featured in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820) by Washington Irving. In the story's climax the main character is chased by the Headless Horseman that ultimately throws his head at him, the head afterwards revealed (to the reader) to actually have been a pumpkin. The story has since been referenced many times, as well as linked to Halloween due to Jack-o'-lanterns despite how the story doesn't state the thrown pumpkin to be one. In Disney's film adaption (1949) it appears as a Jack-o'-lantern on fire, which this item likewise might be a reference to.
