The Idol of Many Hands (also known as the Fabulous Idol) was a precious artifact belonging to Governor Elaine Marley.
Guybrush Threepwood was tasked by the Pirate Leaders to steal it from her mansion as one of his Three Trials in order to prove his worth as a pirate.
It was well guarded by numerous defensive measures.
- Quarrelsome Rhinoceros
- Red Button
- Tremendous Yak
- Gopher Horde
- Funny Little Man
- A lock
- Heavily Armed Clown
Fester Shinetop tied the Idol to Guybrush' leg to weigh him down when he attempted to drown him.
Trivia[]
- Despite being called 'The Idol of Many Hands', the relic appears to only be a head. The name could instead mean that many hands (i.e. people) wants to take or has taken it. Meaning that it has "changed hands" many times.
- It is seen again in Return to Monkey Island as Elaine keeps it in her camp on Scurvy Island.
