―Cubby
**Stinkpot Swamp** is a foul-smelling swamp located deep within the Never Land Jungle, featured in the Disney Junior animated series, *Jake and the Never Land Pirates*. It is the only place on the island where the Stinkpot Plants grow. However, despite the putrid smell of the swamp, there are a few creatures on Never Land that make it their home.

## Role in the series

Stinkpot Swamp first appears in the episode "Never Say Never!". After Jake and his crew journey through the Haha Hedges, they made their way to Stinkpot Swamp, avoided the foul-smelling plants without smelling them. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, however, were not so lucky.

In the episode "The Pirate Pup!", Jake and his crew's pirate puppy friend, Patch, has sunk aboard the Jolly Roger and stole one of Captain Hook's boot. Hook and his crew desperately try to capture the mischievous pup, but Patch flees from Hook's ship onto Never Land into Shipwreck Beach, hiding in the various wrecks to evade being captured by Hook and his crew. Jake and his crew suddenly arrive and witness Patch hiding. Jake and his crew come up with the idea to distract Hook and his crew by barking to confuse and draw Hook and his crew's attention, allowing Patch to flee into Hurdle Hill. Izzy informs the viewers to guide Patch safety into the right path leading to Butterfly Bluff. Hook and his crew soon end up in the fork in the road. Smee suggests they follow down the right path as the young pirates said, but Hook refuses to listen to both Smee's and the young pirates' words and orders his crew to follow him down the left path, sending the villainous pirate crew plummeting into the muck of Stinkpot Swamp.

In the episode "Hooked!", Captain Hook joins Red Jessica on a treasure hunt to find the Ruby Heart of Hearts. While traveling through Cupid's Grove, Hook almost lead them both into Stinkpot Swamp, but Jake and his crew intervene by blocking the path to the swamp by dropping the bananas from the palm trees from behind.

Stinkpot Swamp reappears in the episode "Little Stinkers". Captain Hook makes Bonesget rid of his new pet, Stinkette the Skunk Bug. He discards the insect on Pirate Island, forcing Jake and his crew to find a home for the foul-smelling creature on Never Land. Jake and crew thought that the Stinkpot Swamp would be the perfect home for the skunk bug, unaware that the musical sounds of the swamp would cause the Skunk Bug to multiply. On their way back to Pirate Island, Jake and his crew spot that the Jolly Roger has its own infestation of Skunk Bugs. They agree to help Hook and his crew get rid of the insects after learning that the creatures enjoy Mr. Smee's codfish stew. To gather the bugs together, Izzy uses her pixie dust on the stew and the bugs on the Jolly Roger. Jake and his crew later return to Stinkpot Swamp to rid the swamp of the Skunk Bug infestation, leading the insects to their new home on Far Faraway Island.

Stinkpot Swamp reappears in the episode "Dread the Evil Genie". Jake and his crew briefly bring Pip the Pirate Genie to the swamp in order to evade detection from the power-hungry wicked genie, Dread, who is able to sniff out Pip's magic nearby.
