'''Krawk Island''' is a small tropical island eighty miles south of the coast of [[Mystery Island]], discovered on 5 September 2001. It has a [[pirate]] theme, and it is inhabited by [[Krawk (Petpet)|Krawks]], a [[Petpet]] usually found in [[Tyrannia]], and is a harbour of choice for [[Neopia]]'s pirates. The [[Fungus Cave]] can be found here, which is where Krawk Petpets can be transformed into fully formed [[Krawks]]. The island is a popular location for pirates and because of that, the majority of the attractions on the island are pirate themed.

Krawk Island is notable for its use of [[Dubloon|Dubloons]] as its primary currency, rather than the much more widely accepted [[Neopoint|Neopoints]].

Krawk Island is made of many smaller island that have been towed together and anchored to the sea floor. The founders of the island did this to make it harder for the Dread Pirate Sherman to raid them - one large island is more defensible than many small ones. In 2011 it was split back up into the small pieces by the Krawken and the player had to reassemble the island. Once complete, Krawk Island returned with a new design.

==History==
During the 2006 plot, the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]], the Krawk Island port was visited by the ship.

===Disappearance of Krawk Island===
[[Image:Krawk island map 2005.png|right|thumb|200px|Krawk Island before the redesign]]
{{main|Disappearance of Krawk Island}}

In 2011, the [[Krawken]] broke up the island into small islets, leaving only [[Gavril McGill]] and his home on a small island where they used to be. He enlisted the help of the players to find uncover the reason for the disappearance which lead to the discovery of a book detailing the islands history. It was revealed at this point that Krawk island was originally made up of several small islands brought together and connected to the sea floor to help protect against the Dread Pirate Sherman.

The players first task was to search areas of the ocean for the missing islands using the ship The Surly Peadacle and its crew. As islands were discovered the player was rewarded with items. The second part of the plot involved bringing the islands back together by the player keeping their ship balanced through a sudoku-esque mini-game.

McGill, with the aid of [[Neopets]] players, retrieved the islets and redesigned the island. Throughout the event, McGill becomes increasingly ruthless and quite frequently calls his ''friends'' his ''underlings'', going as far as appointing himself up as the governor of the reformed island after repairs were complete. To continue defending the island from being broken up in the future, McGill allows the player to fire his cannons at the Krawken, through the [[Anchor Management]] daily task, to scare it off.

{{main|Team Krawk Island}}
Having come in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, Krawk Island has been all over the finals and is one of the best teams in the league. With a nearly unstoppable offence and a nearly impenetrable defense, even the best goaltenders shudder when they see this team.

Skeith

}}

The '''Skeith''' is a [[Wikipedia:Gargoyle|gargoyle]]- or [[Wikipedia:Dragon|dragon]]-like [[Neopet]], and one of the original 14 when [[Neopets]] began on November 15, 1999. As one of the largest Neopets of [[Neopia]], they are quite strong but also lazy, preferring to get smaller creatures to do things for them. As is the case with several myths about dragons ([[Wikipedia:Fafnir|Fafnir]] or [[Wikipedia:The Dragon (Beowulf)|the dragon in Beowulf]]), Skeiths often hoard or guard treasure - for example, tax collector [[Gordos]], the [[National Neopian]] [[bank manager]], or [[Meridell]] treasurer [[Snargan]].

Skeiths are capable of eating anything, including [[furniture]], [[Petpet]]s, [[Petpetpet]]s, [[codestone]]s, [[dubloon]]s and [[Paint Brush]]es, an ability which only Skeiths and [[Grarrl]]s have. This makes it very easy to keep your Skeith well fed, as users can simple feed their Skeith items they wish to get rid of. Some Skeith have even [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=2&id=71 threatened] to eat other Neopets.

Although Skeiths are typically depicted as greedy, they don't require their owner to feed them any more regularly than any other Neopet. However, when a Skeith is hungry and its owner visits the [[Quick Ref]] page, it may snatch and consume an item from the user's [[inventory]]. When it does this, it becomes bloated. While they can eat anything, Skeiths come down with [[Disease|Neezles]] when fed anything with the word ''cheese'' in the name.

The Skeith is adorned with spikes and wings, and while these wings can support a Skeith's weight, Skeiths do not appear particularly aerodynamic. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are typically associated with the element of Dark.

==Battledome==
In the [[Battledome]], Skeiths are naturally resistant to earth, fire, and physical attacks, receiving 10% less damage from each. They can learn four species [[abilities]]:

|-
||'''Skeith Squash'''||Attack: {{icon|1 - 2|Physical}}||Available from Level 1
|-

|-
||'''Skeith Kick'''||Attack: {{icon|3|Light}} {{icon|1 - 2|Physical}}||Available on Skeith Day only
|-
|}

There are also seventeen pieces of [[battledome equipment|equipment]] that can only be used by a Skeith.

==Colours==
As of September 2011, Skeiths can be painted in 48 different [[colour]]s:
