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 Krawks, a Petpet usually found in Tyrannia, and is a harbour of choice for Neopia's pirates.
Krawk Island is notable for its use of Dubloons as its primary currency, rather than the much more widely accepted Neopoints. It is the location of the Fungus Cave, which is where Krawk Petpets can be transformed into fully formed Neopet Krawks.
History
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.
In 2006, it was one of the ports visited by the Cyodrake's Gaze.
In 2011, the Krawken broke up the island into small islets again. Gavril McGill, with the aid of Neopets players, retrieved the islets and redesigned the island. After the repairs were complete, Gavril appointed himself governor of the island and set about defending the island from being broken up in the future.

- Main article: 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.
Trivia
- Although the island is recorded as 80 miles south of Mystery Island, it is also recorded as only 48 km, or 30 miles, south-west of Mystery Island on its Neopedia Article.
