'''Roo Island''' is a [[Mini-World]] in Neopia ruled by [[King Roo]], a [[Blumaroo]]. It is a small (approximately 50 miles by 100 miles) island situated 30 miles east off the coast of [[Neopia Central]] and connected by a rainbow.
 
==Blumaroos==
Roo Island is heavily populated with Blumaroos. According to a survey done for an old Neopedia article, 95% of the population of 275,000 inhabitants are Blumaroos (4/5 Blumaroos are born there). Several of the buildings are designed to resemble Blumaroos, particularly the palace of King Roo (who is obsesed wih dice-a-roo), and the [[Colouring Pages]] building is reminiscent of a Blumaroo tail. For those non-Blumaroos, all buildings in the shopping district are shaped like little huts.

Roo Island features two games, [[Dice-A-Roo]] and [[Deadly Dice]], a souvenir shop, a merry go round, Roo Hill leaf sleding (not accessible to players) and colouring pages. Players may also choose to build their [[NeoHome]] on Roo Island. Also, every year, King Roo hosts [[Neopia]]'s biggest Dice-A-Roo tournament, in which thousands compete.

Roo Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team consists of also-rans and inexperienced rookies, but received a huge boost when [[Lilo Blumario]], one of the game's top players, decided to take a pay cut and sign up with his hometown club. In what was considered improbable and the biggest story of [[Altador Cup 2006]], Roo Island managed to reach Round 3 of the tournament, being defeated by [[Darigan Citadel]] and placing as number four. After a voting of fans and players that Roo Island had the ugliest jersey. Fans hoped to do even better this past tournament,with a new uniform and the team's signing of [[Maraqua#Colour|Maraquan]] forward [[Jair Tollet]], who was traded to Roo Island for [[Dayla]], the red Lenny (She got injured in the first practice and never played again). This helped Roo Island make it to the final match, losing to [[Darigan Citadel]], and overall placing in second. Third time proved to be the charm, when in [[Altador Cup III|2008]], Roo Island beat Krawk Island in the Altador Cup final, claiming the cup.
