Rockhopper's Key

Rockhoppers key unlocks his cabin quarters, and to find it he asks to solve a riddle. The answer to the riddle is the library, located on the 2nd floor of the coffee shop (in town). Click on the pile of books on the left-side of the screen and open Rockhoppers journal. From there click --Newest Writin'-- in the table of contents and when you reach the chapter begginning go to the last page of the book. On that last page there should be a key like in the photo below.y, Rockhoppers key.

Rockhoppers Free Items/Arrival

Rockhopper's free item from this voyage is a viking hat. Other items from the catalogue include a monocle, fuzzy viking hat, and toy giraffe. As always, you can play Rockhopper's Treasure Hunt game located inside his quarters (room). Try and find the rare emerald...'cause it's you know...rare.

Rockhopper Trivia!

This is a collection of very trivial facts on Rockhopper.

• 
  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 winking 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.
  


• 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 the background, Rockhopper gave out an eyepatch.
  


• Rockhopper is seen on different servers everyday when his ship's docked. He goes on a time schedule.

Meeting Rockhopper

Now that Rockhopper has arrived, I think it is proper that I tell you all of the benefits of meeting him. If you ever happen to spot him, usually in a large crowd shouting his name, then make sure you add him as a friend. If you do so, you will be rewarded with...

An eye patch

And a signed backround :)

Rockhopper at Walt 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.

This is the backround you could get from meeting Rockhopper at Disney World.

Who is Rockhopper?

Captain Rockhopper (commonly known as Rockhopper) is a friendly 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 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 servers 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 Southern Rockhopper Penguin.
