Baron von Hattenkrapper

Baron von Hattenkrapper is a seagull that takes part in the quests Rocking Out and A Clockwork Syringe.

In Rocking Out, players unknowingly fire him at Young Ralph while using a makeshift vacuum pump while in prison, and he appears to be an ordinary seagull.

In A Clockwork Syringe, he reveals his identity, as well as his ability to communicate with the player through the use of the Summoning skill. He reveals that he plans to exact revenge on the player for the prison incident, upon which players may choose to claim that their unorthodox method of arriving at the island (through the use of a Cannonball barrel-boat) as a "gesture" for making up for the player's "atonement". Either way, players ultimately enlist his aid to destroy several barrelchests guarding Bloodsplatter Isle; using the Summoning skill, players control the Baron in flight and drop bombs on the barrelchests. He is not seen again afterwards.



Trivia

 * Baron von Hattenkrapper's mannerisms are somewhat maniacal, as he frequently speaks of "raining destruction upon your foes".
 * The Baron is not an NPC. He is not selectable in any way, only the rock he perches on. Ultimately, this means that he does not have an examine text, and is one of the few interactive NPC's in the game to do so.
