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, 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.
