Sinister Squashling now drops from several sources: Treat Bags, the Headless Horseman, and Crudely Wrapped Gifts. The drop rate for the Treat Bags and Crudely Wrapped Gifts is roughly 3%, while the drop rate for Headless Horseman is about 8%.
The Headless Horseman is a high level boss that may be summoned in the Graveyard wing of the Scarlet Monastery instance. To summon the Headless Horseman, someone in the group or raid must have the quest, [75]Call the Headless Horseman (a daily quest available only during Hallow's End). A group of at least five level 75 players is recommended. For strategies to defeat the Headless Horseman, click here.

Mmmm... Sinister Squashling. This little pumpkin soldier is one of the sweetest pets around! And when Hallow's End is over, you can still enjoy the company of your animated Jack-o-Lantern. Then again, if you tire of his companionship you could prepare for the next big holiday and turn him into pie. Mmmm... pie.
This pet had me quit for nearly a year as it the last one i needed for the what a long strange trip its been meta. Now I can't bring myself to use him in anger lol.
A pretty good pet, with a strong heal, nice health pool and good damage output, as well as a stun. It's one of the first pets I worked hard with, and one of my first team to 25. Essentially, open the fight by Planting, throwing a Stun Seed (unless they are faster and have an evasion ability available), then proceed to use Burn.
With Hallow's End just around the corner, and knowing of the strength of this pet, I'm considering selling lv 25s on the AH whenever I get a new one.
Alright so I've been using this as my main battle pet since i started battling and this pet is awesome. I also noticed an interesting effect that isn't stated on any of its abilities. So if you have Leech Seed on the target when Stun Seed kills it you get healed for about 50% of your health. It’s pretty awesome but kind of hard to do on level 25 pets unless there week to either ability. Just thought I’d share this info.
Edit: You can also get it out of the "handful of treats" that you receive 1 per candy buckets in the inns.
He reminds me of the Great Pumpkin from a Robot Chicken "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" parody, just not quite as evil. (surprisingly not available on YouTube)
Still, let's hope this little guy doesn't run into any Kite-Eating Trees.
Log in every hour (using egg timer), average 15 times/day, since day 1
Getting on average, half tricks versus treats.
So for: 10 days, 15 times/day = 75 treats, no drop.
Add the daily horseman/village fires = 0 drops so far
Statistically speaking, for the amount of bags I've gotten, I SHOULD have seen the pet 3 times now.
3 days to go, wish me luck.
It seems impossible to get with my main pet collector char, yet I got it on my third trick or treat with a lvl 17 alt that was destined tu be deleted to make room for a worgen when cataclysm comes out (because I want a worgen with a worg pup).
I would have given up without my lovely friends going for the boss over and over again just to get the pet for me. It did drop in the end from the boss afer countless kills and made it my 50th pet so I also got Stinker (and achievement). I just want to tell people not to give up :)
