In Neverland, the children join the Lost Boys residing together in their Home under the ground a Hidden house reached via hollow trees. Their adventures bring them into conflict with a fearsome band of Pirates [36, etc.] led by the notorious Captain Hook This Pirate attack is a central element, highlighting the dangers faced by the children. Hook's iron claw and his dreaded Hook's crocodile, which swallowed his hand and now follows him because it also swallowed a clock, are constant threats. Key figures among the pirates include the pathetic Smee pirate who wears spectacles, and the nervous Starkey pirate The narrative features a climactic Peter Pan Hook fight aboard the Pirate ship Jolly Roger. Other notable inhabitants of Neverland include the proud princess Tiger Lily who Peter helps in a Peter Pan rescue, and the tiny, jealous fairy Tinker Bell A pivotal moment involves Tinker Bell dying after drinking poisoned medicine intended for Peter, with her fate depending on belief (Believe in fairies).
