Inhabitants
Charon:Charon is the Greek ferryman of the dead.In Poptropica,he is represented as a pale-skinned,bearded man wearing a prisoner's shirt and a green cloth sash.He stands in a boat and offers to ferry you across the river.

Flaming Skull:A floating skull creature wreathed in green flames that dives down towards the boat to knock you into the water.

Trivia

 * Usually in Greek Mythology, you have to give Charon a coin in order to cross the river and he is often portrayed as a greedy person forcing you to give him more coins. However, in Poptropica, Charon simply agrees to ferry you across the river for no charge.
