| | |
| '''Captain Rockhopper''' (commonly known as '''Rockhopper''') is a friendly [[Wikipedia:Pirate|pirate]] [[penguin]] that regularly sails to [[Club Penguin]] via the [[Migrator]] (usually about every two months or so); accompanied by his red puffle, [[Yarr]]. His ship is always docked at the [[Beach]]. He keeps a [[Rockhopper's Journal|journal]] of his adventures, and sells [[rare]] items brought over from [[Rockhopper Island]]. When he comes to [[Club Penguin]], he always gives away a free item in the [[Pirate Catalog]]. Players can sometimes see Rockhopper in random places in random [[server]]s when he lands in Club Penguin. Players can receive a free gift from Rockhopper from his [[player card]]. Rockhopper is named after the real-life [[Wikipedia:Southern Rockhopper Penguin|Southern Rockhopper Penguin]].
| |
| | |
| [[Club Penguin]] has a multitude of servers, and Rockhopper can be hard to find. Trackers are not an option, because they are fake, but some work with lookouts on [[server]]s. Every time he comes, he brings a new free item with him.
| |
| | |
| == Rockhopper's Rare Items ==
| |
| :''See main article: [[Pirate Catalog]].''
| |
| | |
| == History ==
| |
| | |
| === First Launch ===
| |
| | |
| *On March 7, 2006, 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.
| |
| | |
| *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 everyone could adopt them.
| |
| | |
| === 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 Setember 2007, Rockhopper landed on [[Club Penguin]] with several boxes. He 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 he 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.
| |
| | |
| *Sometime around February 2008 there was a tool box on the [[Save The Migrator]] booth, and that was to build Rockhopper's new ship. On March 28, 2008, the ship was almost finished and there was a sink on the "Save the Migrator" booth. As of now, Rockhopper is coming due to [[Gary the Gadget Guy]]'s new invention, the [[Flare Flinger 3000]]. You could see him coming toward [[Club Penguin]] at the top of the [[Lighthouse]].
| |
| | |
| *The [[Aqua Grabber]] was built to obtain pieces of the sunken [[Migrator]]. For those who finish the game will be rewarded a [[Golden Wheel Pin]].
| |
| | |
| === 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 [[Library]], 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]].
| |
| *For the first time ever, Rockhopper will be celebrating the [[Fall Fair 2009]] with everyone.
| |
| | |
| === 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]].
| |
| *Rockhopper is spotted in the telescope on August 27 2009 ready for the [[Fall Fair]].
| |
| | |
| === Rockhopper spotted! ===
| |
| *He was seen in the telescope during the [[Medieval Party]]. Also he was spotted a few days before [[Fall Fair 2009|The Fair 09.]]
| |
| | |
| === 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].
| |
| | |
| == Gifts ==
| |
| [[Penguin]]s lucky enough to meet Rockhopper can recieve a special gift from him.
| |
| There were three gifts available by meeting him:
| |
| *An Eye Patch (originally the first ever free item brought by Rockhopper in his catalogue)
| |
| *A Signed [[Background]]
| |
| *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]])
| |
| | |
| == Stories ==
| |
| Sometimes, Rockhopper tells stories to other [[penguins]] while he is waddling around [[Club Penguin]], often at the [[Cove]].
| |
| | |
| === The Shark ===
| |
| | |
| AT ME ISLAND
| |
| | |
| I SEE SOMETHING
| |
| | |
| YE KNOW WHAT IT BE?
| |
| | |
| IT BE A SHARK!
| |
| | |
| BIGGER THEN ME SHIP!!!
| |
| | |
| SO I START SWIMMING!!
| |
| | |
| I SWIM AROUND THE ISLAND!
| |
| | |
| A THOUSAND TIMES!!!
| |
| | |
| I BE MIGHTY FAST!
| |
| | |
| FASTER THAN THE SHARK!!
| |
| | |
| HE GET TIRED
| |
| | |
| AND SWAM AWAY!
| |
| | |
| I BE THE FASTEST PIRATE!
| |
| | |
| === The Soda Cream ===
| |
| | |
| Arrrg!
| |
| | |
| Ye want a story?
| |
| | |
| Gather round for a story!
| |
| | |
| So there I was drinking me cream soda.
| |
| | |
| I was so thirsty, I drank the whole barrel!
| |
| | |
| But then I realized something,
| |
| | |
| I wasn’t drinking cream soda at all!
| |
| | |
| Do ye know what it was?
| |
| | |
| It was shampoo!
| |
| | |
| I was coughing up bubbles for a week.
| |
| | |
| It was awful!
| |
| | |
| Learn from ye mistakes!
| |
| | |
| Always check the label on ye barrel!
| |
| | |
| === The Bubblegum ===
| |
| | |
| Another story?!
| |
| | |
| Okay Mateys.
| |
| | |
| So there I was on my ship
| |
| | |
| Sailing the seas with [[Yarr]] at my side.
| |
| | |
| [[Yarr]] was chewing bubble gum.
| |
| | |
| When all of a sudden
| |
| | |
| Right in my beard,
| |
| | |
| It was a sticky mess!
| |
| | |
| I was picking it out for a week.
| |
| | |
| The end Mateys.
| |
| | |
| And thats all for Now.
| |
| | |
| == A Possible Relative ==
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Rockhopper sensei.PNG|thumb|156px|A comparison someone drew of Rockhopper and [[Sensei]].]]
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| == Sightings ==
| |
| :You typically can only can find rockhopper if he is on the island! You can find locators to find rockhopper but they are inaccurate.
| |
| :''See [[Rockhopper sightings]]''
| |
| | |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| | |
| *Rockhopper's favorite beverage is [[Cream Soda]], because there are a few barrels of them in the [[Ship Hold]] and on Club Penguin during his pirate parties. He has also been quoted as saying, "Arrgh! Cream Soda be the drink for me."
| |
| *Note that in his [[player card]] there is not a "make friend" button (instead there is a box button which if you click on you get a background), a "report" button, or a "find friend" button. If you click on the "Go to house" button, it goes to the [[Migrator]]. (All those buttons: Report, Find Friend, and Go to house butttons, are disabled.)
| |
| *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]].
| |
| *Before Rockhopper give out the background, he gave out an eyepatch.
| |
| *Rockhopper is seen on different [[server]]s everyday when his ship's docked. He goes on a time schedule.
| |
| *Some penguins get creative and wear Rockhopper's free clothes. They then find him and ask to be part of his crew. Usually, Rockhopper replies no. If you talk like a pirate, he says yes.
| |
| *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 1995.
| |
| *Before Rockhopper put his key in the back of his journal, 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.
| |
| *He has been known to play hide-and-seek with other [[penguin]]s.
| |
| *Rockhopper visits [[Club Penguin]] with [[Puffle#Yarr|Yarr]] every two months.
| |
| *Rockhopper's puffle, [[Yarr]], was not seen on the Migrator when he arrived February 27, 2009. This is because Rockhopper is seen walking his puffle on his player card. [[Yarr]] is seen doing the same facial expression as Rockhopper on the player card.
| |
| *Rockhopper is a [[Member]].
| |
| *It is impossible to get a pirate hat or black beard like Rockhopper. However, there was once a pirate hat that had a resemblance to Rockhopper's hat.
| |
| *It was possible to send a card or add him to your [[ignore list]], but these features were removed.
| |
| *Rockhopper's ship, The Migrator, was spotted in the Telescope on Friday, May 15, 2009, with various types of trees and vines.
| |
| *Rockhopper usally appears on Mammoth, Frozen, Sleet, and Blizzard.
| |
| *On the 22nd of May, 2009, the ship had overgrown plants on it.
| |
| *Beginning May 22, 2009, Rockhopper began to give out a new [[Autographed Backgrounds|Autographed Background]] that also featured [[Yarr]].
| |
| *Rockhopper is a Level 5 [[Member]].
| |
| *When asked, he did not know the existence of [[Sensei]].
| |
| *In June 2009, the ship is full of plants because he was going to bring seeds to Club Penguin, but they spilled everywhere and grew.
| |
| *The only time he is on is either when he visits or sometimes when there is a party.
| |
| *When Rockhopper came with plants, some [[penguin]]s thought that he gave some to [[Herbert]], because in the tenth mission, [[Herbert]] dropped seeds.
| |
| *Some call him RH for short.
| |
| *When asked, he said he saw [[Wikipedia:The Kraken|The Kraken]] one day. He might have seen the [[Giant Squid]].
| |
| *The plants that Rockhopper gave out are now growing very big in many [[penguin]]s' [[igloo]]s.
| |
| *Rockhopper likes soup and cow's milk.
| |
| *He is scared of heights so he never visits the [[Mountain]] or the [[Dojo]].
| |
| *He rarely visits the [[Crow's Nest]].
| |
| *In a comic, [[Gary]] made a machine that translates what Rockhopper said in the pirate way.
| |
| *Rockhopper once was in [[Club Penguin]] without his hat.
| |
| *There is a Series 3 Plush Toy of Rockhopper, as well as a Series 1 Mix 'n' Match figure.
| |
| *Cream Soda as Rockhopepr's favorite drink is based on real pirates drink root beer.
| |
| *It is thought that Rockhopper will release his old [[background]] on his next visit.
| |
| *Rockhopper arrived the day the [[Fall Fair 2009]] started.
| |
| *Rockhopper seems to be the most common found unlike the other Famous Penguins due for them coming only to parties, when Rockhopper can come even in plain Club Penguin.
| |
| *Rockhopper seems to be bigger than normal penguins.
| |
| *Rockhopper did not walk [[Yarr]] until the [[Puffle Party 2009]].
