	Games - Phatt Island

Phatt Island is one of three fictional islands Guybrush Threepwood can explore in Part Two of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991) in the north-west area of the Caribbean of the Monkey Island series of adventure/puzzle video-games by LucasArts. It also appears briefly at various points in Escape from Monkey Island (2000) on a revised map which departs considerably from earlier ones.

Phatt island is known for being the sole island in the Caribbean to possess a dictatorship. Its ruler, Governor L. Phatt, a severely obese pig-like man who dwells in a mansion on the south end of the island, has cut a deal with the game's antagonist, the zombie pirate LeChuck, and intends to collect the sizeable bounty placed on the game's protagonist, Guybrush Threepwood's, head. The island's law enforcement consists of a single large, muscular guard armed with a sword, a pistol, and a large helmet which obscures his eyes, and his dog Walt, the jail-keeper. Phatt Island is also noted for having the Caribbean's only library, which is located in Phatt City, a coastal town within a bay, in the northern part of the island. On the island's north-west side there is a water-fall containing a secret passage to a smaller island immediately to the left of Phatt island, on which dwells the drunkard Rum Rogers Jr. in a cottage. Rum Rogers Jr. is the son of Rum Rogers Sr., the first mate on the ship captained by Horatio Torquemada Marley which sailed to find the legendary treasure of Big Whoop. At the end of their journey, Marley tore the map to Big Whoop into four pieces, one of which he left with Rum Rogers Sr., and which remains in said cottage. Guybrush Threepwood must defeat Rum Rogers Jr. in a drinking contest if he is to attain the map piece.
