==Battledome==
==Random Event==
Count Von Roo was made available as a [[Battledome]] challenger on 30 August 2001. He can only be challenged between 12 am and 1 am NST - if the user attempts to fight him outside of these times, they are told, "The count only comes out at night...".
There is one [[random event]] involving Count Von Roo:


The Count's most powerful weapon is his Von Roo Spider, which only does 6 icons of damage, the Von Spider. This makes it easy for a Neopet with only a starter Battledome set to contend with him. The only thing a lower level Neopet would have to worry about is his high health, starting at 90 HP.

|Image=[[Image:Count von roo.png]]
|Text=OUCH! Count Von Roo appears in a puff of smoke and bites <PET NAME> on the neck!
}}


As well as his weapons, he can use the sponsor abilities Frost, Psychic Attack and Scorch.
This random event causes the user's active [[Neopet]] to lose 1-3 HP. The first time a user receives this event, they unlock Count Von Roo as a [[1-player challenger|challenger]] in the [[Battledome]].

From 12 midnight to 1 AM [[NST]], Neopians can visit Count Von Roo at [[Roo Island]] for a game of [[Deadly Dice]]. 
In this game Neopians roll against Count Von Roo with a level at stake.  If the player rolls lower than Count Von Roo, then their [[Neopet]] loses a level.  If the player rolls higher than Count Von Roo, then their Neopet gains a level.


If the player ties Count Von Roo, then the player and Count Von Roo both roll again, and the levels at stake are doubled.  (The second roll is for two levels, the third is for four levels, etc.)
==Better Than You==
Count Von Roo has been featured in [[Better Than You]] on 9 August 2012.


There is an [[avatar]] for playing Deadly Dice.  In order to get it the player must tie Count Von Roo and then win.  The Deadly Dice avatar can actually be lost when playing the game again, so Avatar collectors usually only play until they get the avatar.

Featured Article

(list of featured articles)

Count Von Roo challenges Neopets to dice for their levels.

Count Von Roo is a vampire Blumaroo, over 200 years old. He was said to live in the Haunted Woods, but now resides in a mausoleum on Roo Island. Fear of him coming in the night looking for a tasty snack ensures that Neopians keep their Neohome windows shut.

He sleeps through most of the day, and is only active between 12 am and 1 am NST. Visitors to his tomb during this time can challenge Von Roo to a game of Deadly Dice, with their Neopet's levels at stake. It is also only during these hours that he can be fought in the Battledome.

Blumaroos look like the Count if they are painted Halloween.

Plot summary[edit]

NeoQuest II[edit]

Main Article: NeoQuest II

In the Haunted Woods chapter of NeoQuest II, Rohane and his party save Count Von Roo from Meuka. He explains that he was not the one who cast the spell locking the sun in the sky, instead, he was trying to cast the counterspell. He reveals that Spider Grundo, Balthazar, and Hubrid Nox worked together to lock the sun in the sky. Count Von Roo admits that he is an "evil, blood-sucking fiend" but makes a truce with Rohane and his party because they are both working toward the same goal.

Random Event[edit]

There is one random event involving Count Von Roo:
