Skull Island, as seen in the third game in the series. Guybrush Threepwood and the Lost Welshman are at the bottom of the picture.

Skull Island is a small island and home to the infamous Smuggler known as King André in the adventure-game The Curse of Monkey Island.

Template:Spoiler Skull Island is only reachable with a small dinghy operated by the Lost Welshman who became lost in the mist that surrounds Skull Island when the light of the Lighthouse on the neighnouring Blood Island was smashed. Guybrush Threepwood needs to get to Skull Island in order to get the diamond for the huge diamond ring he needs to lift the curse cast on Elaine Marley by LeChuck's cursed ring. In order to get to Skull Island he must fix the lighthouse and make a compass for the Welshman.

Trivia

• Many characters claim that Skull Island is in the shape of a skull but in truth is shaped like a duck, "it should be called Duck Island" is exclaimed by Guybrush himself.
• Interestingly enough a section of the game Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror that takes place in Caribbean features a skull-shaped island called Zombie Island.
• Skull Island is one of the smallest islands in the Monkey Island series (the player can only interract with a couple of things on the island and it is contained by only four perspective shots).
