— Rockhopper

Rockhopper (commonly referred to by his title, Captain Rockhopper) is a friendly pirate who docks at Club Penguin Island. Players can usually find him on the Migrator, docked at the Beacon Boardwalk, ready to offer adventures in exchange for prizes like coins, emojis, and more.

History[]

Ship crash[]

Upon arrival to Club Penguin Island, the Lighthouse is broken, causing Rockhopper to sail through fog without the light as a guide. With limited visibility, his ship, the Migrator, consequently runs into rocks, causing damage and water to leak in. In fear of sinking, Rockhopper instructs the player to launch themselves out of a cannon to reach the island's shore and go talk to Aunt Arctic. After greeting Aunt Arctic, the player is instructed by her to search nearby for 3 piles of wood. Upon collecting the wood, the player returns to the now docked Migrator. Rockhopper then gives the player a jackhammer and instructs them to hammer the wood on top of the leaks. After repairing the damage, Rockhopper thanks the player and gives them a reward of gear, which is a jackhammer, 9 emojis, 50 coins, and 10 XP (Rockhopper).

Lost starter kit[]

Rockhopper then informs the player that their starter kit was lost during the ship crash, but that he suspects the ocean tides have carried it to Coconut Cove. The player finds the kit on a platform surrounded by water, which is accessible by zipline. After retrieving the kit, Rockhopper instructs the player to find Aunt Arctic, who has the key to open it, at the Beacon Boardwalk.

Second Adventure[]

Although it was never added into the game, it was revealed that there were plans for Rockhopper to have a second adventure. In this adventure, using the Bottle of Fair Winds, the player and Rockhopper would set sail to another island ruled by Queen Clawdia and find out why crabs were terrified of royalty. Upon being interrupted by the unexpected guests, the queen would turn her anger on the player and Rockhopper.[2]
