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

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.

==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.
{{RandomEvent
|BGImage=[[Image:Bg roo.jpg]]
|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]].
