"Scream as loud as you want. There are no police on Scabb Island."
Largo LaGrande

Scabb Island is an island in The Tri-Island Area. According to a book in the Phatt City Library, Scabb was first settled as a quarantine island for skin diseases. It later became a haven for pirates as there were no governors or any other authorities, the only island where Pirates were free to be pirates.

The main settlement was a town built from shipwrecks on the northern coast named Woodtick. Most residents lived there, though a few isolated homes were dotted around other island locations, such as the Peninsula and the swamp.

Baron Salmon Bisque de Goodsoup landed there around the 1620s, and from there he started his expanding chain of all-soup restaurants.

After the death of LeChuck, his henchman Largo LaGrande became the local bully and the only form of "authority"; he imposed an enormous tax fee, forcing anyone who arrived on or left the island to pay out large sums of money.

This island was the first place Guybrush Threepwood visited while searching for the treasure Big Whoop but he realised he had no way to leave unless he got rid of LaGrande and his infamous embargo.

Quotes about Scabb Island[]

"There is no Governor on Scabb! This is an anarchist cooperative of pirates, cutthroats, and other criminals. A haven for roughnecks and rebels like me. The only authority on this island is that bully Largo"

Trivia[]

  • As is the case with Mêlée Island, it is always night on Scabb whenever Guybrush visits it.
  • Early maps of MI2 show a parchment with the name "Scab Island" (with one b) as seen on this article's infobox. In the finished game it was corrected to two b's.
  • In The Curse of Monkey Island, Guybrush tells The Flying Welshman that he will find Scabb if he goes "north to north-east" from Blood Island. However maps of the Tri-Island Area show a different geography.
