'''Krawk Island''' is a small tropical 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|Dubloons]] as its primary currency, rather than the much more widely accepted [[Neopoint|Neopoints]].

==Overview==
==History==
Krawk Island, about 80 miles south of the larger [[Mystery Island]], was named because of its strange inhabitants, the [[Krawk|Krawks]]. Aside from these strange lizard-like creatures, Krawk Island was a desolate rock, until about a year ago when a gang of pirates on the run from the law landed and settled. Since then it has become very popular with all manner of undesirable citizens...

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. It was discovered by the rest of Neopia on 5 September 2001.  


Recently, Krawk Island has disappeared.
In 2006, it was one of the ports visited by the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]].
"Until recently, this was the spot where Krawk Island could be found. A few days ago, however, a large set of what's being described as claws or tentacles encircled the island, and the small plot you see now and the shanty that rests upon it are all that remain."
