"The Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Laser Beams Out Of Its Ass" (sometimes abbreviated to TFPTSLBOOIA) was originally a joke reference to a non-existent role, made by Antrax in Vegetable Mafia on the Grey Labyrinth. Surprisingly enough, he received this role randomly at a later date in Improbable Role Mafia. (It was a 25% bulletproof 75% vigilante that could "aim" to change its kill chances for one kill to 100% on Mafia and 25% on Town.) It has been used in other games, usually in games that are comedic in nature.

It has subsequently become the name for the 'Best Role' Scummie Award.

Standard version

A Flying Pumpkin has a 25% chance to be immune from kills targeting them. Moreover, they have a Vigilante kill which has a 25% chance of failing, and they have the ability to "aim" to change its kill chances for one kill to 100% on Mafia and 25% on Town.
