Krawk Day Special

Scoundrel of the Summit
by dihybrid

The ocean’s not a proper place
To find a hopeless child.
Poor Lady Frostbite, she was lost
Ne’er to be reconciled.

Her youngest days were spent at sea
With no help in her sight;
To be so small and helpless,
She was constantly in fright.

The Darblats found her, thankfully,
And took her into their care.
So how did she become this villain
All of us must beware?

As years went by, her anger grew 
Reflecting on her past.
She never did forgive the world
For making her outcast.

Brave Torchio did stop her plan,
But now she’s broken free
And will not rest until the globe
Is minus forty degrees.

Can we blame her for growing dark
When not allowed to bloom?
Can plants be blamed for withering
When left in an arid room?

She is wholly responsible
For the havoc she tries to wreak,
For all her bluff and all her bluster
Up On Terror Mountain’s peaks.

A tragedy should not beget
Another tragic action.
A broken heart is no excuse
For such a cold reaction.

Her presence is felt plain as snow
From the valley to the glacier.
Our own protection’s up to us
Should we be brave and face her.

But when you find her, give her grace
As it is sorely needed.
Your victory is only as good
As the way you treat the defeated.

How to get a Krawk
by m0onface

To get a Krawk is a funny thing,
You can't just go and hatch one.
Hold your breath? Or dance? Or sing?
None of these will get it done.

Just create one like the others?
There's something called the Fungus Cave.
You must be patient like all mothers,
You must earn your Neopoints and save.

They claim to be restricted you see,
But they're not as rare as all that!
It might just cost a pretty fee,
To then bring out the welcome mat!

Congratulations! A new Krawk Pet,
It only cost you all your stash.
But now you no longer need to fret,
Better start saving up your cash!

The Daring and Dauntless Darr
by chai7705

Many are famed from Krawk Island
From heroes to villains and more
Reknowned are the Neopets here
That hail from these sandy shores

Today, though, let's honour a Krawk
Who oft is not mentioned by name
However you've probably heard
The saying that he brought to fame

Darr, heroic Green Krawk
Protected this wild Krawk Isle
He fought for what's good and what's right
Inspiring so many Pets' smiles

If this land is known for its thieves,
Pirates, and crooks after gold
Then during Darr's time way back when
Those types roamed the land by tenfold!

Daring and brave was that Darr
Who faced evil pirates, sans pause
With his trusty sword, he'd fight hard
All for a most worthy, good cause
He'd take stolen treasure right back
Returned direct to owners' paws
And did it without any need
For cheering parades or applause

His feats were not lost on the folk
That lived on the Island of Krawk
He was quite a popular lad
The damsels and maidens did flock!
He'd stolen the hearts of so many
Despite his one flaw -- his one balk
That Krawk known as Darr did not speak
He could barely squawk or talk!

There is just one thing he could say
Which everyone knows, near and far
Yes, even those who never heard
Of Krawk Island's hero named Darr
So here's one for him, that kind soul
A toast, in lieu of memoir
Let's all cheer, like his trademark cry
To Darr: A hearty "YARR HARR!"

A Krawk’s Toothy Deed
by maculose

A Krawk began to brush his teeth.
This Krawk began to brush his teeth.
This Krawk was spotted and was named Keith.
Keith prided himself on his smile. 
He had practised brushing for quite a while.

His teeth were bright like pure white snow,
But he did not boast or put on a show.
He knew he was lucky with all of the means.
He would think about others which painted a scene. 

Quite the idea began to form.
It was a special idea and not the norm.
He quickly left and went to a shop. 
He was running so fast, he began to hop.

He got to the store and saw there was plenty.
Toothbrushes of every colour, way more than twenty!
 “I’ll take them all!” Keith said with a grin.
“I’ll make others feel good and like they can win!”

He took all the toothbrushes and left with much haste.
He wanted to hurry with no time to waste.
Keith rushed home to grab some supplies.
He grabbed markers and a poster that was the right size.

He went to a park and stood real proud.
He made a sign and yelled real loud,
“Toothbrushes for free! Please don’t be scared!
They are all brand new and will help you prepare!”

Several others began to arrive. 
They walked up to Keith and gave him a high five.
The toothbrushes were going, which was a great sight,
So give others a reason to smile real bright!

The Krawk Awakening
by z2b

There lies a place in all of Neopia,
where a creature so mighty, and powerful lies.
Its scales like emeralds, teeth so sharp
Here stands tall, the all mighty Krawk.

From the pirate ships at port,
to the Smugglers cove.
You will find a Krawk leading all. 
A Krawk presence commands respect

Some born from an egg, 
others will transform to their shape.
A hero to some or a symbol of might, 
In the world of Neopia, the Krawk is up for any fight. 

Now there is one Krawk, mightier then the rest, 
Laying out on the sandy beaches, 
Secured by his gated stately estate
Governor Gavril McGill, and his trusted Petpet,
are up for any battle, on any date. 

Some may say the Gavril is a puppet,
Others will pay Dubloons to own a puppet.
We may never know what actually unfolded,
adventures will seek out, what the island stores.

So this was a story about the all mighty Krawk,
Some say his fate, is like a rock. 
In all the lands of Neopia, 
anchored in history, a Krawk.

A Shanty for Dubloon Disaster
by darthtingle

Sing swift for the skiff
as it twirls and careens
for Dubloons drab and shimm'ring
sought upon the high sea.

Chant now for the chest
Dorak piles with bronze,
gathering into his coracle
glimm'ring riches for points.

Cry out for the Krawk
navigating smooth waters
yet hounded by hov'ring
mines emerging that gather.

Wail on for the whirlpools
that would drag to the depths
yet one further shipwreck
'mongst treasure-brimmed decks.

Bellow forth 'bove the Pawkeet
sunk under the waves
once proud, now a trove yard
where gallant adventurers play.

Sing swift now for Dorak
that Krawk dauntless in rowing
'round dangers for booty
upon the briny, glist'ning sea.

The Tale of Dorak the Krawk
by kittyko92

Upon his rowboat Dorak sat
Donning his hook and Pirate hat
Sitting upon the hot beach sands
Dreaming of sailing to distant lands

But Dorak feared the raging sea
He did not know how to swim safely
So there he sat and continued to play,
His boat stuck on the beach all day

His so called "friends" would call him a name
"Captain Lenny", of no great fame
The "Slow Return" they called his ship,
But he paid no mind to their rude quips

One day, his father approached to inquire
Why Dorak regarded the sea with ire
No other Krawks were stuck on the shores,
He said, "Go into the water and try out your oars!"

At first, he couldn't bring himself out to the blue,
If his boat were to sink, what would he do?
He couldn't swim well, he could only imagine
A great disaster waiting to happen!

But then, something he overheard
Finally pushed him bravely onward
His family was low on precious Dubloons!
He had to act, and find them soon!

The treasures called him out to ocean
Countless Dubloons sat there, without motion
But as soon as he picked up his very first loot
A homing mine appeared and began to follow suit!

Each new coin grabbed, another appeared
A single touch would sink his boat, he feared
But each Dubloon filled him with determination 
Bronze, Silver, and Gold acting as great motivation!

This determined young Krawk would not falter
He vowed to collect every last coin from the water
He'd bring back riches and prove them all wrong,
And turn out to be the greatest Pirate all along!

Dubloon in the Sea
by thomaswilliams123

Dorak the Krawk, this must be.
Started his journey took his boat on the sea. 
He set off to sail and find some Dubloons.
But ended up in a horrible typhoon!

Though he managed to survive through the awful wind.
Only to have to struggle and twist,
His way around all these dangerous mines.
That follow him around while he paddled, oh my!

Collecting Dubloons through the storm and the mess.
He felt this had to be a game or a test!
The more shiny Dubloons he collects, the more trouble appears!
More mines every time, now he's in tears!

He hoped someone would find his message in a bottle.
After all it went through, it was hard to follow. 
Most of it couldn't be read,
But when they got to the bottom it clearly said...
"If you see a shiny Dubloon in the sea,
BEWARE!! It's a Dubloon disaster waiting to be."

Gavril McGill, Krawk Island's Governor
by alagfalaswen

Gavril McGill is best known as the Governor of Krawk Island,
Who sometimes waylay Neopians with Forgotten Shore map scraps,
But while he reminds us not to let the said shore be forgotten,
Many may not recall his role during Krawk Island’s shock-collapse


(Or rather than ‘collapse’, a drifting kind of fragmentation
when a Giant Krawken gnawed the anchor ropes until they frayed),
McGill’s hut was all that remained of the pirates’ island haven,
As all the islets drifted off, leaving swashbucklers dismayed.


T'was McGill who took the reins amidst the scurvy-est-known uproar,
T'was he who organized the parties that set out to search
T'was McGill who consolidated the information to restore
The island that had left its ‘citizens’ in quite the lurch.


T'was McGill who rearranged the islets to set up Warf Wharf,
Which quickly grew into the hub of deals legit and grey, 
T'was McGill then, who, acting on Krawk Island-ers’ behalf,
Appointed himself Governor, which holds until this day.


Of course, there do be naysayers who strongly disagree
with McGill’s acts that seemed rigged strongly to grant him his rank,
But no such grousing have reached up to where McGill hears, y’see,
for no pirate is keen to risk the threat to walk the plank!

Off We Go To Krawk Island
by eleganza_lights

From land to the sea,
Home to pirates, sailors, and busy bees.
Lots to see and lots to do,
Lots to eat and chew.

The Golden Dubloon has a delicious menu,
Shrimps, oysters, and stews.
Drinks that fizz and pop,
Man O War and Lemon Pop.

If your Pets are weak, then be in hurry,
Visit Cap’n Threelegs Academy.
Train with might and with speed,
Till level 40 then you’re ready to battle indeed. 

Off the coast visit Scurvy Island,
Krawps and betting you can try your hand.
Or visit the Cove to find some treasure,
Visit too often, the pirates show their displeasure.

But without Dubloons nothing can be done,
Eating, treasure hunting or anything fun.
Collect some coins and visit soon,
See you at Krawk Island in the afternoon!

Lady Frostbite
by lyndsey4657

If you are wanting someone to put up a fight,
I would suggest battling Lady Frostbite.
She is Blue and tall and a tad bit scary,
A fight with her will not be merry.

As a child she was lost at sea,
No attempts at rescue, no one heard her plea.
She was raised by a colony of Darblats,
If you mess with them, you will get snarled at.

She became their ruler, grew cold and angry,
Plotted revenge on the world that gave up on her frankly.
She built an ice fortress and the Darblats became her servants,
Defenders sent Torchio to be an observant. 

Torchio attacked and Lady Frostbite was defeated,
She was last seen in Terror Mountain before disappearing. 
She infiltrated Dacardia and planned a new scheme,
But before she could act, she was defeated before she could scream.

Let us celebrate this treacherous Krawk who was defeated,
Even though I feel like she really got cheated.
All she wanted was to be loved but was abandoned,
Maybe this poem brought more of an understanding.

A Krawk’s Journey through the Fungus Cave
by aquaantoni

Where do Krawks come from? Many have asked.
The Tyrannian Petpet Shop, if you want an answer fast.
But if you seek the answer as to how they evolve.
That is a mystery with more questions to solve.

You see, Krawks are Petpets, at least at the start.
But feed them some fungus their growth is off the chart.
A Petpet able to become a full Neopet.
But to do so, they must venture to a cave that is wet.

In the depths of Krawk Island lies the Fungus Cave.
A deep dark cavern, only venture if you’re brave.
Water runs through the ground and the walls glow green.
It’s the fungus you are after to evolve this Petpet’s gene.

Why the fungus on this cave? One may wonder after all.
Just eating it makes this Petpet grow up, no longer small.
But the reasoning behind it is beyond comprehension.
Is magic at hand? or just a superfood sensation?

Regardless of the reason, your Petpet will enjoy.
Once they’re fully grown, will it be a girl or boy?
Whatever it is, be sure is nicely named.
Something unique for the new Pet you have claimed.

Krawk And The Fungus Cave
by shenkuun

Slightly smelly and filled with fish, 
It's a damp dark cave that grants a wish!
Just bring your Petpet and watch it eat, 
Make sure it's a Krawk or the poor Petpet retreats!

The cavernous fungus glows with light, 
As you watch your Krawk Petpet glow with might!
The transformation process has begun. 
You stepped in something? Yikes, it can't be gum! 

Hold your nose as you watch your new Krawk, 
Achieving new heights, just like a hawk!
Your Krawk is now in it's final form, 
Nothing boring, nothing short from the norm!

Hurry up you must now leave, 
Before the smugglers arrive and begin to thieve!
Get out of the cave and escape the smell. 
You have a new Krawk, now treat them well!

An Ode to the Grimtooth Stamp
by i_lovee_icecream

In position twenty-four, 
On the Krawk Island page. 
Lies the Grimtooth Stamp,
My stamp craving assuaged. 

Grimtooth sits,
In his gold border. 
Treasures amassed,
He’s a gold hoarder. 

With his hook hand,
And menacing grin. 
The Bilge Dice Krawk,
Is ready to win. 

Amassing Dubloons,
Mountains of gold. 
Luck and chance,
Fortunes foretold. 

The Grimtooth Stamp,
A scene of greed. 
Bid on it at the Auction House,
My addiction, it feeds. 

Krawk Island stamps,
Are only a few away.
From a complete page,
I’ll finish it some day!

Dorak's Dubloons
by togepwi

Dorak's the name 
an' Dubloons be me game!
Let me tell ye a tale
of why I set sail

I wanted to be one of the greats
Huntin' fer treasure with loyal crewmates
But everyone doubted me
They said I'd never last at sea

Of course I proved them wrong!
Me sense fer Dubloons be strong
They be scattered all o'er the place
The fun part be the chase!

Them bilge Black Pawkeet pirates with their mines
Just gotta watch out and avoid them lines
We'll have so many Dubloons - no doubt!
So grab an oar an' help me out!

We'll fool them pesky mines with some tricks
Swerve here and thar she blows when they mix!
Now grab that there Dubloon right o'er there
An' another that way to make it a pair!

Shiver me timbers! A Two Hundred Dubloon Coin!
Aren't ye glad ye decided to join?
They won't know what hit 'em!
It'll be absolute mayhem!
