His men capture the gang of kids (Oliver, Mya, and Jorge) before you break them out of the vikings' prison.

## Characteristics

Much like the real life Erik, he is very hot headed and quick to anger. He does, however, exhibit some qualities of fairness. He is considerably short, with a large hat and wings sprouting from it. He has red hair, which covers his face with a mustache and beard. He also has braids that cover his ears. He wears red shoes and normal viking attire, with red hues.

## Storyline

### Role in Mystery of the Map (book)

Erik's men finds the crashed hot air balloon and drag it back to the viking fortress.

Erik first appears on page 46 of the novel, sitting on his throne while the men explain where they found the balloon. After Oliver realizes where they are, and whose fortress they're in, the map hears him say his name, and starts talking about the viking. This catches the attention of another viking, and a riot starts, focusing around the kids.

They eventually get caught and brought to the throne. They are questioned, but can't stop laughing at Erik's height. After some snide remarks from Jorge, Erik tells the guards to place their guests in custody while he discusses with his council. The gang is thrown in the pig pen.

Later, once the kids abandon Octavian on the beach, the vikings catch him, and Erik tells him that he will be thrown in the dungeon.

### Role on Mystery of the Map

Erik's men capture the gang of kids. Octavian knows that they went to the fortress, so he manipulates you into freeing him and going to the fortress.

Erik first appears in the throne room, inside the viking fortress. His goblet (which you currently have in your inventory) is missing. He thinks one of his servants stole it, however you already know that Erik has a bad habit of mistakenly throwing out tableware, and that you picked it up on the way in. He says that he will close his eyes, and the servant who stole it can return it to his throne, no punishment or shame involved. If you just watch the scene, he will repeat this infinitely.

However, if you put the goblet onto a platter and serve drinks to all the servants under trial, one of them will pick up the goblet not noticing it's importance. From there, Erik will open his eyes and see that the servant is drinking out of his goblet. He loses his temper, throws his hat across the room, and makes everyone go away. You can pick up his hat afterwards.

While searching for a rare orchid, she was attacked by a large Bigfoot-like creature. That led to the scar on her face and her obsession with cryptids.

### Role in Cryptids Island

You see her twice on the island. The first time is when she attempts to drown you while you are kitesurfing, she then burns your kite down. The second time is at the end, where she hacks your communication system and captures Bigfoot. You take her down by opening her helicopter fuel tank and cutting the rope of the cage, thus releasing Bigfoot. She was later captured and taken to Erewhon Prison.

### Role In Super Villain Island

Gretchen Grimlock is in Erewhon along with the Super Power Island criminals and a few other villains from the past. She is in a cell with Betty Jetty, and if you click on her, she'll say: "This place is filled with weirdos."

## Storyline

### Role in Twisted Thicket

After defeating the first part of the dryads, you will come to a part of the woods inhabited by elves. They will attempt to cut the vine you are on as you swing from vine to vine. Some will even try to tackle you. After this you will reach an area with 4 vines. As you climb up the vine, elves will follow and try to knock you down. At the very heart of the forest, you will encounter a large tree hollowed out with the entrance blocked by brambles. Put in all the runes in order (Lesovyk, Kobold, Jötunn, Näckrosor and Dökkálfar) and the entrance will clear out revealing the Elf Queen's throne room.

You need the grass skirt in order to the Medicine Man. He only talks to native islanders. If you wear the skirt, you will look like a native islander, just like the Grass Skirt Vendor advertises.
Exploding Crab

Gender

The **Exploding Crab** is a crustacean that resides on Time Tangled Island.

## Storyline

The Exploding Crab does not have much of a role in Time Tangled Island. It can be found on the beach where you first arrive and if clicked ten or more times in rapid succession, it will explode and then quickly pull itself back together.
Twisted Spire

The **Twisted Spire** is a tall, undulating structure within the Amorphous Fields.

## Background

Near the center of the Amorphous Fields, a tower of living, greenish flesh reaches 1,000 ft. towards the sky. From far away, this twisted spire looks like stone, but it's actually organic tissue. Interior vessels carry vital fluids to the top of the tower, pumped by massive, heart-like organs that can be seen beating within it as you approach. Other than this undulation, however, the spire doesn't shift and move the way the surrounding fields sometimes do.

#### The Halo

About three quarters of the way up, the spire is encircled by a ring of metal. This ring, called the Halo, is a circular structure that slowly turns around the spire. It has many green-tinted circular windows on all sides, including the top and bottom. Reaching the Halo requires flight or levitation, but if that can be accomplished, numerous hatches and ports allow entry. Within the ring is a numenera treasure trove - and ancient dangers as well. Explorers report waves of radiation, poisonous gases, and molecular - rearranging energy fields.

Dark Room

The **Dark Room** is a dark tunnel where you find the Golden Egg. It can only be navigated once you have the glowstick.

## Description

You can find the main entrance to the Dark Room in the Poptropica Towers area on Early Poptropica Island. It is located between a light green and light brown building. A fire hydrant and the Skateboard Kid are standing right beside it. There are two entrances to the Dark Room: one is on the ground of Poptropica Towers (which is in a form of a drain), and the other one is on the bottom left corner of the Pit. Once you enter the Dark Room, you will be in a maze. The ceiling and the ground are made of wood covered in vines, and the walls are made of dirt with words graffitied onto it.

## Storyline

It is a dark maze that can only be navigated by the glow stick found in the storage cavern. It can be accessed either by a manhole cover in Poptropica Towers, or by entering The Pit and travelling through the tunnel at the bottom left. You must get through the maze in order to get the Golden Egg to return to the Purple Giant. Along the walls are clues written to guide you along.

Gender

## Storyline

### Role in Blimp Mini-Quest

## Trivia

* His name is a pun on the word "cumulonimbus", which is the scientific name for a storm cloud.
Hoops

**Hoops** is a simple head-to-head game in which you attempt to score five baskets in a game of basketball before your opponent does. You have the ability to play this game against other players in Common Rooms.

## Gameplay

You can control the angle and power of each shot with your mouse cursor, and the goal is to aim it just right so that you score a basket. You shoot the ball by clicking on the mouse.

After a successful basket is scored by either player, the hoop will move up or down, often requiring you to change the angle and power of your shot. When one player scores five baskets, the game is over.
Edgar

Gender

**Edgar** is a carnie apprentice from Monster Carnival. He plays a major role in the island.

## Characteristics

Edgar is a young man who has relaxed eyes and curly pale brown hair with a cowlick sticking out upwards. He wears a blue grey button-up shirt with suspenders attached to blue pants along with a brown belt over it.

Overall, Edgar is relatively new to the carnie business. He knows the basics but sometimes needs help managing and setting up. He does not know the truth about Ringmaster Raven and does not have a monster form unlike the rest of the carnies.

## Storyline

You first encounter Edgar on Main Street. He tells you that the carnival is not ready and asks for your help. You must help all the carnies get the carnival ready before it opens.

Afterwards, the carnies will head off into the woods and, hypnotized by a mysterious hooded figure, inexplicably transform into monsters. Edgar will ask you for help and brings you to Ringmaster Raven, who informs you on how to get the cure. You must retrieve a slip of paper from the pocket of the man at the ferris wheel and then get a black lightbulb from the Haunted Lab and use it in your flashlight. Using this at the rubber duck booth will reveal that the ducks are painted in different colours. Pick them up in the order Green, Orange, Red, Yellow. This will reveal a secret formula for a cure.

After you finish the cure, Edgar will bring you back to the ringmaster's tent where it is revealed that he is under the ringmaster's mind control. He straps you to a chair and prepares to transform you into a monster. You must wake him up with the Fried Dough you got earlier. He will then free you and you proceed to chase down Ringmaster Raven and defeat him. After this, he thanks you and leaves town with the other carnies, but before he does so, he hands you the medallion.

## Trivia

* Edgar may have been named after Edgar Allen Poe, who is most famous for his poem The Raven. This is supported by the fact that the main antagonist of the Monster Carnival uses the raven's image as an emblem of sorts, even adapting 'Ringmaster Raven' as his stage name.
* Edgar is the only carnie who is never seen in monster form.
