Scabb Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scabb Island is the first island featured in the LucasArts adventure game Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. The island is inhabited by an anarchistic yet peaceful community of pirates. As the game opens, the island is terrorized by Largo LaGrande, a short but physically mighty pirate and former right-hand-man of LeChuck. He bullies the other pirates for their money and prevents any ships from leaving the island (referred to as The Largo Embargo).
The capital town of Scabb is Woodtick, located on the island's north coast. Much of Woodtick is formed from ships which have been wrecked on the rocks. Woodtick has several businesses and is home to Wally.
Located on the beach near Woodtick is "Steamin' Weeinie", a hot dog shack owned by the late Rapp Scallion. In the western part of the island is a swamp which houses the "International House of Mojo", run by the Voodoo Lady. A graveyard is located at the southeast end of the island, and the houseboat (named the Jolly Rasta) of the Jamaican pirate Captain Dread is docked at a peninsula in the southwest.
[edit] Trivia
- The "Men of Low Moral Fiber" make their second (and last) appearance on Scabb Island.
- Though Guybrush remarks Mêlée Island as being the location of the original International House of Mojo, in truth the name did not appear until MI2. In MI1, the Voodoo Lady's establishment was never named, although a sign for "Ye Olde Rubber-Chicken-with-a-pulley-in-the-middle Shoppe" appeared on the opposite side of the street.
- Scabb is the only "all-night island" in MI2. Despite the fact that it's sunny on both Booty and Phatt Island, Scabb is always covered in darkness.
- The Tomb-Stones in the cemetery have amusing, lyrical epitaphs similarly to those on Blood Island.
- In order to get one of the map-pieces Guybrush must resurrect Rapp Scallion. He fondly recalls this event later in The Curse of Monkey Island through a flashback.
- A book from the Phatt Island library says that Scabb Island was formerly a quarantine station for people with skin diseases, and later became favorable to pirates due to the lack of authorities.
