Konke is a pupil @ the forest school. fictional character created for the animated television series The Pirates of Dark Water. He was voiced by Tim Curry.

One of Bloth's most-trusted lieutenants, Konk's largest role in the pirate king's schemes in the series is in the five-part pilot miniseries, Dark Water. He steals the compass and the First Treasure of Rule from Ren on the Island of the Pale Warriors in the second episode, Dishonor.

Unable to return to Bloth straight away, he and the Lugg Brothers flee Ren's crew in a stolen Atani ship in the episode Break Up, stopping off in Pandawa to get help from Jargis. After Pandawa, they press on to Janda-Town in Betrayal where the compass and treasure are finally stolen back from them by Ioz and Tula, with some help from Zoolie (who, it is implied, picks Konk's pocket).

Although not especially intelligent, Konk, for his size, is a vicious and courageous fighter. And for the most part, he is loyal to Bloth and is very mindful of his captain's wrath, as, years before, Bloth had become so angry with Konk he'd thrown him to the Constrictus. Amazingly, Konk survived, although the Constrictus succeeded in biting his leg off. Konk had it replaced with a metal peg leg.

Further demonstrating his uncanny knack for survival against incredible odds, Konk has survived at least two more trips to the Constrictus' pit (one for losing the compass and treasure in Janda-Town), as well as a whole host of other dangerous situations and come out none the worse for wear. He also, at one point, trades bodies with Niddler in the episode The Soul Stealer thanks to a dose of Morpho's magic potion, but was returned to his old body when Ren (in Bloth's body) used the antidote.
