Rockhopper

• Rockhopper is a fictional pirate character who arrives at Club Penguin aboard a pirate ship named The Migrator. Introduced on October 13, 2006, he arrives in the game approximately every two months. During a Rockhopper visit, all players (including non-members) may explore his ship, which offers exclusive items for purchase, and a fictional diary of the character’s adventures. When among game players, Rockhopper appears as most others except that he wears pirate clothes unavailable to others.

• He built The Migrator and cast off on his first journey sometime in October 2004. He returned over a year later with many tales to tell and treasure to sell. He stores his treasure on Rockhopper Island, which he discovered and named during his year at sea.

• To find out more about the bearded pirate, read the stories in his journal. It is in the Book Room.

• Look for signs of his return in the Lighthouse telescope, located at the Beacon and read The Penguin Times newspaper for updates.
