Dread's Bottle was a magical blue bottle featured in the Disney Junior animated series, Jake and the Never Land Pirates. It served as Dread the Evil Genie's lamp.
Powers and Abilities[]
Dread's Bottle serves as his greatest asset, because it helps Dread consume magic from other genies. As displayed during his debut, it has the power to absorb magic from other genies into it, thus fueling Dread's power even further. However, Dread's Bottle also serves as his weakness, as being without it his powers begins to fade, leaving him weak. As a genie, Dread was originally bound to his bottle and has to use his powers when the owner of the bottle were to make a wish, as seen when Pip was able to seal Dread within his bottle, and later in the episode "Dread the Pharaoh!", after being freed from his damaged bottle, Dread has lost all of his magical powers and now longs to gain magic once more.
Role in the series[]
Dread's Bottle first appeared in the episode "Dread the Evil Genie". While Jake and his crew are walking through Shipwreck Beach, Dread reveals himself to the young pirates. At first glance, he believed them to be genies as he could sense the magic of another genie somewhere on the island. Jake and his friends inform the new visitor they are not genies, but do know one by the name of Pip the Pirate Genie. Dread uses this to his advantage, claiming he is a dear old friend of Pip and has been searching all over Never Land for him. Jake and his crew soon summon Pip to reunite the two. Frightened by Dread's arrival, Pip explains that Dread isn't a friend, but a power-hungry fiend that consumes other genies' magic for himself, leaving nothing left. Suddenly, Dread attempts to drain Pip of his magical powers, but thanks to Jake and his crew, they manage to escape with Dread in pursuit. Later, Captain Hook, who allied himself with Dread, successfully confines Jake and his crew within a net. Captain Hook demands that Dread keeps his word about the treasure, which Dread reluctantly rewards Hook with an island of treasure, allowing Dread the chance to drain Pip of his powers. He then boasted about his new powers and abilities he'll possess when he finishes with Pip. Using his last bit of magic, Pip attempts to fly away, but in the process, he summons a large swarm of flies that swarm over Dread. Seeing his chance, Pip attempts to retrieve the bottle as both genies battle over it, but Pip soon gets the upper hand and gains his magic back as he forces Dread back into his bottle. Pip then flings the bottle to the Never Land Desert, hoping no one will ever see Dread again. Unknown to the heroes, Dread swears he will be free once more, as his bottle begins to crack as he releases an ominous cackle.
Dread's Bottle reappears in the episode "Dread the Pharaoh!". Otaa wander into Dread's bottle while amusing himself in the desert. After releasing the ex-genie from his bottle, Otaa wanted to make various wishes to please the Pirate Pharaoh. Dread regretfully informs Otaa that he is now powerless, and the mummy cat loses interest in Dread and returns to the Pirate Pharaoh. After overhearing that the Pirate Pharaoh has a means of magic, Dread uses this as a chance to restore his power. Dread allies himself with Scorpio, the scorpion and was able to steal the Pharaoh's crook and flail, giving him the power he longed for once more. Dread's Bottle makes a brief reappearance during Dread's musical number, reflecting on how he felt about being trap inside without his powers.
