Rockhopper is a fictional pirate character who arrives at Club Penguin aboard a pirate ship named The Migrator. Introduced on October 14, 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 ‘rare’ 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.
A “message in a bottle” had been seen floating about, visible through the telescope located in the Lighthouse Beacon. On March 1, 2007, the bottle ended up on the right section of water on the Beach. It appeared to be some pages torn out of Rockhopper’s journal, and ripped around the edges due to a rough journey. The words and pictures were later published in a book which tells about a stowaway on Rockhopper’s ship named Bambadee, and how he overcame his fears and made friends. Rockhopper apparently returned him to the island but amazingly, was not noticed by other penguins. The story also tells of Bambadee’s friendship bracelets, which can be received by clicking on a picture of one after reading the story. Every month, along with the ‘rare items’ there is a free item. Members and non-members may get it. If you have been on Club Penguin for a while now, in the comments, write what your favorite rare item that Rockhopper has brought for us! My personal favorite is the parrot, but, I don’t even have it! Ironic, isn’t it?
Most of my friends don’t know who Rockhopper is, even the one that got me started on CP! So, here’s my blog, for them, and anyone else who reads this!
GO ROCKHOPPER!!! Oh yeah, if you want to look for me on Club Penguin, I’m Gaaraz1fan, I’m usually on the Blizzard server, I do know that sometimes it is hard to get on it, so sometimes I will be on Mammoth, Snow Bank, Altitude, and well, any server with 4-5 smiley faces, I love a good crowd!
