-'''Krawk Island''' is a small island off the southern coast of [[Mystery Island]], discovered on September 5, 2001 but formerly believed to be uninhabited. It has recently prospered as a haven for pirates (although whether for some tactical advantage or use in a trade route has not yet been determined). Krawk Island is notable for its use of [[Dubloon]]s as its primary currency, rather than the much more widely accepted [[Neopoint]]s.

+'''Krawk Island''' is a small tropical island eighty miles south of the coast of [[Mystery Island]], discovered on 5 September 2001. 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.
-==Attractions==
+Krawk Island is notable for its use of [[Dubloon|Dubloons]] as its primary currency, rather than the much more widely accepted [[Neopoint|Neopoints]].
-*'''The Golden Dubloon''': A restaurant, the first of its kind in [[Neopia]]. Charges are made in Dubloons, and on rare occasions [[Neopet]]s may be able to take some leftovers with them from their meal, which act as tradeable items.
-*'''The Dubloon-o-Matic''': An automated machine for exchanging Dubloon coins for higher denominations.
+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.
-*'''The Swashbuckling Academy''': Similar to the [[Training School]] on Mystery Island, but using Dubloons instead of [[Codestone]]s. The academy can only offer its services to relatively low leveled pets, in comparison to the Training School and the [[Secret Ninja School]], but does give free courses to applicable pets on their [[Species]] pet days.
-*'''Strange Ship''': On the 3rd August, the [[Strange Ship]] first docked here.
+==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.
-==Yooyuball==
+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.
-Krawk Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team is filled with "loveable losers" who have never managed to pull together and win their regional tournament. Their fans are the most enthusiastic, but due to the team's failures are also the most suffering. It was hoped [[Altador Cup 2006]] would be the year "Ol' Dash and the gang" would take the win, and despite being expected not even to pass Round 1, they continued to play to Round 3.
-Led by forward [["Dasher" Soley]] (who has hinted he may retire after the tournament of 2006) and ''Goalkeeper'' [[Garven Hale]] (whose skills allowed them to progress through the tournament), it was hoped [[Altador Cup 2007]] would be another spectacular year, especially with the addition of defenseman [[Zayle Sufhaux]] (who replaced last year's starter, [[Hoke Lemtry]]).
+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.<br style="clear:both" />

-==Pirate Colour==
+===Warf Wharf===
-A Neopet can be painted to look like a Pirate via [[Morphing Potions]], [[Rainbow Fountain]], or the Pirate [[Paint Brush]], released on May 28, 2002.  This colour is not available from the [[Lab Ray]].  The look of a Neopet is different depending on the species, but the grey skin/fur is always present.

+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.
