About the Nokken
The Nokken is a mysterious creature that lives in the Bioluminescent Bog on Poptropica's Twisted Thicket Island. When the player enters the bog, the Nokken is seen on top of an old, scratched sign that reads 'Beware of Nokken'. The creature then wakes up,spots the Poptropican and turns invisible. A set of red pawprints then begins to trail away from the sign, leading through the bog.The player must now get across the bog while avoiding the Nokken several times.
