| | |
| '''Captain Rockhopper''' (commonly known as '''Rockhopper''') is a friendly pirate [[penguin]] who regularly sails to [[Club Penguin Island|Club Penguin]] in his ship, the [[Migrator]], about every two months or so. He is always accompanied by his red puffle, [[Yarr]].You can also get him by stamp. His ship is always docked at the [[Beach]]. He keeps a [[Rockhopper's Journal|journal]] of his adventures, and sells [[Rarity|rare]] items brought over from [[Rockhopper Island]]. When he comes to [[Club Penguin Island]], he gives away a free item and sells other items to [[member]]s in the [[Rockhopper's Rare Items]] catalog. [[Penguins]] can sometimes see Rockhopper in random places in random [[server]]s when he lands on [[Club Penguin Island]]. Players can receive a free gift from Rockhopper by clicking what is usually the "Add Buddy" icon on his [[player card]]. Rockhopper is named after the actual species of [[penguin]], the [[Wikipedia:Southern Rockhopper Penguin|Southern Rockhopper Penguin
| |
| | |
| ''[[Club Penguin]]'' has a multitude of servers, and Rockhopper can often be hard to find. Trackers are not an option, because they are fake, but some work with lookouts on [[Server|different servers]]. Every time he comes, he brings a new free item with him, in the [[Ship Hold]].

| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===First Launch===
| |
| *On March 7, 2005, Rockhopper finished building his ship, the [[Migrator]] and started his adventures.
| |
| *In this trip, Rockhopper adopted [[Yarr]], discovered [[Rockhopper Island]] and found a lot of treasures.
| |
| *After over a year of adventures while being lost Rockhopper saw a light from a [[lighthouse]] in the distance.
| |
| *Rockhopper then came back to [[Club Penguin]]. He visited the [[Lighthouse]], played a few games, and danced at the [[Night Club]].
| |
| | |
| ===Red Puffles===
| |
| *In December 2006, Rockhopper introduced red [[Puffles]] (originally from [[Rockhopper Island]]) to [[Club Penguin]] and only members could adopt them, however this was changed in a year or so and red puffles were available for adoption by all penguins.
| |
| | |
| ===Book===
| |
| *Rockhopper has written a book, "[[Library|Rockhopper and the Stowaway]]". This story originally came to [[Club Penguin]] as a message in a bottle at the [[Beach]]. Players can read this book in the [[Library]]. [[Bambadee]] was introduced to the world here.
| |
| | |
| ===New Room===
| |
| *On April 27, 2007, Rockhopper came back. The [[Migrator]] was decorated for this, and he brought along new items. Also, the [[Migrator]] had a new room, the [[Ship Hold]], where the new items were sold.
| |
| | |
| ===Mystery of the Boxes===
| |
| *On September 2007, Rockhopper landed on [[Club Penguin]] with several boxes. Rockhopper gave no hint of their contents and placed them in the [[Lighthouse]]. It was not until [[penguin]]s accidentally broke one of the boxes that they learned Rockhopper was preparing a massive carnival [[party]], known today as the [[Fall Fair]], but when the party started, he wasn't there to celebrate it.
| |
| | |
| ===Save The Migrator Project===
| |
| ''For a full timeline, see [[Save The Migrator Project]].''
| |
| | |
| *Rockhopper was spotted on January 17, 2008, and it appears the [[Migrator]] was hit by an iceberg and his ship was slowly sinking. Rockhopper and [[Yarr]] were both fine, though.
| |
| *On January 23, 2008, Rockhopper's rowboat arrived at the [[Beach]].
| |
| *On Friday, February 1, 2008, Rockhopper began his journey home in his rowboat. Players could watch him rowing by looking through the telescope at the top of the [[Lighthouse]]. Also, a booth appeared on the Beach with a sign that says, "Save the Migrator". It had a map of the island and the crash site spot marked with an X.
| |
| *The [[Aqua Grabber]] was built to obtain pieces of the sunken [[Migrator]]. Those who finished the game were rewarded with a [[Golden Wheel Pin]].
| |
| *The boat was periodically changed depending on the status of the ship. At the start of February, there was just a toolbox. Over time, more tools appeared and parts of the Migrator were scattered around the Beach. On 28 March, when the ship was complete (but very dirty) a sink appeared at the booth.
| |
| *When the ship was completed, [[Gary the Gadget Guy]] brought his new invention, the [[Flare Flinger 3000]], to the Beach to call Rockhopper. You could see him coming in his rowboat toward [[Club Penguin]] at the top of the [[Lighthouse]].
| |
| *Rockhopper rewarded the penguins by giving us the Captain's Quarters Key pin so that we could enter his [[Captain's Quarters]].
| |
| *Before Rockhopper released his key to the public, there was a rumor that the key did not exist. But, if you asked him where the key was, he would say "Arrr, The key be under me hat!". However, a picture shows him taking it out of his beard.
| |
| | |
| ===Party and New Rooms===
| |
| *On the 25th of April, 2008, Rockhopper and [[Yarr]] had a celebration party and they opened the [[Crow's Nest]].
| |
| | |
| *On April 28, he hid the [[Rockhopper's Key|Key]] to his [[Captain's Quarters]] for penguins to find. To get the Key, visit the [[Book Room]], located above the [[Coffee Shop]]. Go to the [[Book Room]], and select [[The Journal of Captain Rockhopper]]. Flip to the very last page and you will see the [[Rockhopper's Key|key]].
| |
| | |
| *The Key lets you go into the [[Captain's Quarters]] when the Migrator is docked on the [[Beach]]. It also doubles as a [[pin]].
| |
| | |
| ===Summer Events===
| |
| *In June 2008, Rockhopper's [[Migrator|ship]] was seen in the [[Telescope]], coming back to the [[island]].
| |
| *He docked on June 27, 2008, and brought with him a Grey Pirate Coat, a Pirate Dress, a Flamingo furniture item, a Stuffed Parrot as a free item, and a Ship-in-a-bottle furniture item.
| |
| *Rockhopper returned on August 9, after being seen in the [[Telescope]].
| |
| *There was a paper boat hunt, each part containing a piece of the ship igloo blueprint which created a blueprint [[background]].
| |
| *He designed a ship [[igloo]].
| |
| | |
| ===Talk Like A Pirate Day===
| |
| *On September 18, 2008, Rockhopper requested in the [[Penguin Times]] for [[penguin]]s to dress up and talk like pirates on the following day.
| |
| *This is based on "[[Wikipedia:Talk Like A Pirate Day|International Talk Like A Pirate Day]]", a parodic event in the USA which occurs every September 19 since 1996.
| |
| | |
| ===Puffle Party 2009===
| |
| *During the [[Puffle Party 2009]], Rockhopper was seen walking Yarr for the first time.
| |
| | |
| ===Walt Disney World Resort Costume Character===
| |
| [[File:Mapfix.jpg|thumb|Map of Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando FL, with Rockhopper's location circled.]]
| |
| [[File:Rockhopper bambadee background.png|thumb|The [[background]] you could get from meeting Rockhopper at Disney World.]]
| |
| | |
| *In April 2009, [[Disney]] announced on the What's New Blog that Rockhopper made an in-person appearance (as a costume character) at Walt Disney World Resort (in Orlando, FL)'s "Hollywood Studios" (what used to be MGM Studios) between April 30 and May 13. He was also giving out a new [[background]] with a blue penguin on it.
| |
| *At Disney World, Rockhopper appeared with a light blue penguin. It is possible this penguin is [[Bambadee]] without his friendship bracelet.
| |
| *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uT-mX3nwuw&feature=related&fmt=18 A video of Rockhopper at Walt Disney World, Florida].
| |
| | |
| ===The Fair 2009===
| |
| *Rockhopper was spotted in the telescope on August 27, 2009, just in time for [[The Fair 2009|The Fall Fair 2009]].
| |
| *Rockhopper arrived back to [[Club Penguin Island]] in time to set up The Fall Fair 2009.
| |
| *He was the [[penguin]] who set up the [[member]]s-only [[Great Puffle Circus]] and hired the [[puffle]] trainer for the Circus.
| |
| | |
| ===Holiday Party 2009===
| |
| *Rockhopper returned to Club Penguin in time for the Holiday Party 2009.
| |
| *His ship held a [[Coins for Change]] raising event, where the user could play [[Treasure Hunt]] and then donate the coins earned to Coins For Change in the Captains Quarters.
| |
| | |
| ===March 2010===
| |
| *He came to Club Penguin with the [[Hidden Treasure Background]].
| |
| *[[Yarr]] (his Red Puffle), was missing during his visit.
| |
| | |
| ===Island Adventure Party 2010===
| |
| *Rockhopper returned to Club Penguin in time for the [[Island Adventure Party 2010]].
| |
| *On the day Rockhopper was suppose to come, May 21, in the morning of that day, the Migrator was not there and many penguins were mad because of this.
| |
| | |
| ===The Fair 2010===
| |
| * Rockhopper is going to be on [[Club Penguin]] for [[The Fair 2010]] on September 3, 2010.
| |
| | |
| ==Gifts==
| |
| [[Penguin]]s lucky enough to meet Rockhopper can receive a special gift from him.
| |
| There were three gifts available by meeting him:
| |
| *An Eye Patch (The original item until featured in his catalogue)
| |
| *A signed [[background]]
| |
| **From May 22, this background also featured Yarr.
| |
| *A jungle signed [[background]] (which was unique to a visit in which he was carrying a vast array of plants and trees in the [[Migrator]] during the [[Adventure Party 2009]], it is considered a little rare)
| |
| [[File:Yarr Snowball.jpg|thumb|After Rockhopper throw a ''snowball'', [[Yarr]] would look after it with a telescope]]
| |
| | |
| ==Player Card==
| |
| In Rockhoppers' [[Player Card|player card]], there is not a "make friend" button (instead there is a box button which if you click on you get a background). If you click on the "Go to house" button, it goes to the [[Migrator]]. All other buttons (Find Friend, Send Mail, Ignore and Report) are disabled.
| |
| | |
| *In the past, the box button used to be a smiling face.
| |
| *Only Rockhopper can make friends with other penguins. If you are a friend of Rockhopper, he will not appear on your friends list. He will visit you. This is valid for every [[penguin]] except [[Billybob]].
| |
| *[[Yarr]] is seen doing the same facial expression as Rockhopper on Rockhopper's player card.
| |
| | |
| ==Stories==
| |
| Sometimes, Rockhopper tells stories to other [[penguin]]s while he is waddling around [[Club Penguin Island]], often at the [[Cove]].

| ==A Possible Relative==
| |
| {{Rumours|section}}
| |
| [[File:Rockhopper sensei.PNG|thumb|156px|An artist's comparison of Rockhopper and [[Sensei]].]]
| |
| [[File:RockSei.PNG|thumb|156px|A comparison of Rockhopper and [[Sensei]] in-game.]]
| |
| | |
| Rockhopper may have a possible living relative. He was the only known [[penguin]] to have a beard and bushy eyebrows up until November 4. A [[penguin]] named [[Sensei]] had showed up on the [[Dojo Exterior]]. He had a beard and bushy eyebrows, and explored places like Rockhopper. But, when somebody asked him about [[Sensei]], he said "[[Sensei]]? Who's [[Sensei]]?". This makes this myth doubtful, or they do not want to give away any hints or clues. When asked again he said " I have heard of the great sensei, he be a great Card Jitsu master. I do remember him from me past though". This now makes the myth possible that Sensei and Rockhopper could be relatives.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *It used to be possible to send a card to Rockhopper or add him to your [[ignore list]], but these features were removed.
| |
| *When asked, he said he saw [[Wikipedia:The Kraken|the Kraken]] one day. He might have seen the [[Giant Squid]].
| |
| *He is scared of heights, so he never visits the [[Mountain]] or the [[Dojo]].
| |
| *He was the first meet-able character in [[Club Penguin]].
