Krawk Island
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 Dubloons as its primary currency, rather than the much more widely accepted Neopoints.
Attractions
- The Golden Dubloon: A restaurant, the first of its kind in Neopia. Charges are made in Dubloons, and on rare occasions Neopets 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.
- The Swashbuckling Academy: Similar to the Training School on Mystery Island, but using Dubloons instead of Codestones. 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.
- Food Club: Every day, 20 pirates compete at any of five locations to see who can complete the indicated courses. Each pirate has a particular allergy, which means they may not be able to handle food in that category.
Yooyuball
Krawk Island's Yooyuball team is filled with "loveable winners" who have managed to pull together and win most of their matches. 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). Unfortunately they lost to the "underdog" team that was Shenkuu on the finals, earning them 4th place.
Hoping that Altador Cup III was finally their year, Krawk Island was surely the favorite to win 2008. The roster was to be the same, and both veterans "Dasher" Soley and Garven Hale were ready to finally win Krawk Island a cup. After a strong stretch all the way to the finals, they only needed to beat Shenkuu and Roo Island to win the cup. After beating Shenkuu, which surely was sweet revenge after losing to the previous year's cup, only Roo Island stood on their way to coveted Altador Cup. But another shocking lost(Like the previous before to Shenkuu) paved way to Krawk Island as they lost to Roo Island to earn them 2nd place.
To Altador Cup IV Krawk Island went, and they were sure ready to finally win a cup as the sole remaining out of the "Original Four" (Haunted Woods, Darigan Citadel, and Roo Island being the others)to not have won yet. Like the previous year, no roster changes appeared in 2009 so it was now or never, cause "Dasher" Soley seem ready to retire soon. As well like the previous, they blazed through to the Finals, with major accomplishments to major disappointments (ie: A sweep from Kreludor) but still earning them a 2nd seed spot through the finals. After quite a major victory from "Yooyuball" powerhouse, Lost Desert, they only needed to beat Shenkuu to finally win. The match between Shenkuu and Krawk Island was a sure classic as this two teams had battled it out many times before, with the two major matches before giving way to a win for both teams, so now this was a deciding factor, who would rein supreme. Finally, Krawk Island had done it, with a intense battle between the pirates and ninjas, Krawk Island finally won the match and with it the Altador Cup earning them their first cup.
Team positions are as follows (bolded notes the Team Captain):
| Year | Goalkeeper | Left Defender | Right Defender | Left Forward | Right Forward |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006 | Garven Hale | Nitri Cassale | Hoke Lemtry | Ealyn Hawkshanks | "Dasher" Soley |
| 2007 | Zayle Sufhaux | ||||
| 2008 | |||||
