3182. Penrod


Penrod was a small, lobster-like crewman serving aboard the Flying Dutchman, under the command of Davy Jones.

 Penrod was one of the four most trusted mates aboard the Flying Dutchman, along with Maccus, Ratlin, and Angler. His body was covered with numerous armored plates and two antennae protruded from his head, mimicking a moustache. During the confrontation with Jack Sparrow aboard the Black Pearl, in which Sparrow bargained for his life with Davy Jones, Penrod held a sword to Marty's throat. Later, he was watching a game of Liar's dice played by Koleniko, Clanker, and Maccus when Will Turner challenged Jones. Penrod served onboard the Dutchman well into the reign of Lord Cutler Beckett. When Davy Jones was killed, the curse on the Dutchman was lifted, and Penrod became human once again.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a multi-billion dollar Walt Disney franchise encompassing a series of films, a theme park ride, and spinoff novels as well as numerous video games and other publications. The franchise originated with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme ride attraction, which opened at Disneyland in 1967, the last Disney theme park attraction overseen by Walt Disney. Disney based the ride on ancient Spanish and Portuguese sailing legends and folklore. In turn, the first three movies serve as a reiteration of the legends while the fourth is a new rendition with some artistic license. As of August 2006, Pirates of the Caribbean attractions can be found at four Disney theme parks. Their related films have grossed almost US$4 billion as of 2011.
