- ―Bones
The Crocodile Crown is a magical, golden jeweled-encrusted crown hidden deep within the muck of Crocodile Creek featured in the Disney Junior animated series, Jake and the Never Land Pirates. The crown makes the wearer king of the crocodiles and the power to command the mighty reptiles without fail.
Role in the series[]
The Crocodile Crown first appeared in the episode "Captain Hook's Crocodile Crew". After retrieving a large rock formation resembling his mother, Captain Hook orders his crew to follow him across the bridge. Mr. Smee warns Hook the bridge cannot support the combined weight of all them and the rock, but Hook refuses to listen, and this sends them all tumbling down into Crocodile Creek. As Hook learns that he is the lair of his most feared nemesis, he wanted to get out as fast as he can, but he notices that his hat is missing and demands that his crew find it. Sharky uncovers a crown that Hook was not impressed by, until Bones revealed that the crown is the legendary Crocodile Crown, which is said to make its wearer king of the crocodiles. Hook refused to believe that just by wearing the crown, it will give him control over those ravenous reptiles. Suddenly, Tick-Tock Croc emerges from the creek with two other crocodiles attempting to devour Hook and his crew. However, before the crocs could take a bite, they freeze after spotting the Crocodile Crown on top of Hook's head, much to Hook's surprise. Captain Hook could not believe his eyes and ordered the crocodiles to perform various tricks, which they all did successfully. Marveling a the sight of the crocs following his commands without any backtalk and their combined might, he felt that he did not need Smee, Sharky and Bones any longer and soon turned the crocodiles upon his old crew. Later, Hook is seen upon a throne constructed by the crocodiles as he amuses himself, making Tick-Tock juggle for him. Smee, Sharky, and Bones soon returned with Jake, who tries to reason with Hook, warning him the dangers that Tick-Tock and the other crocodiles are only serving him due to the power of the crown and are dangerous. Hook refuses to listen and orders the crocodiles into herding Jake, Smee, Sharky and Bones into a wooden cage locking them up. Hook soon gloats and informs the pirates with the combined might of his new subjects, he will now attempt to retrieve the most dangerous treasure on the island: the treasure of Captain Catastrophe. Captain Hook, accompanied by the crocodiles, enters the booby-trap canyon of Captain Catastrophe, not even trying to avoid the traps, as he presses forward while Tick-Tock and the crocodiles protect him until he reaches the X that marks the spot. Hook soon orders the crocodiles to dig up the treasure. Suddenly, one of the traps' crossbows shoots the Crocodile Crown off Hook's head, freeing Tick-Tock and the other crocodiles from Hook's control leaving Hook at the mercy of the hungry crocs as he flees. Hook's sets more of the traps off, and with the dangers of the various traps going off around them, Tick-Tock and the crocodiles give up the chase and flee to safety. Hook pleads for them not to abandon him and rescue him, but Tick-Tock merely mocks Hook before leaving with the rest of the crocs. The Crocodile Crown is last seen at the end of the episode back in Crocodile Creek, now worn by Tick-Tock as the other crocodiles fan and juggle for his amusement.
