'''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.

Count Von Roo's equipment is unintimidating to anyone. He has only one item that consistently does 6 icons of damage, the Von Spider. His second best weapon is the Grand Lightning Beam, which does from 4 to 6 icons of damage.
The only thing a lower level Neopet would have to worry about is his 90 HP. Count Von Roo lacks any substantial defensive weapons, so he can be taken out quickly with a few strong [[snowballs]], but since these are single use items this may be a bit expensive for some. Pets with very low HP should bring a healing item with them into the Battledome, but if there HP is that low, healing elixirs that are given occasionally for free at the [[Healing Springs]] should be about enough to fully heal that pets HP.
If you know you have found Count Von Roo but can't seem to challenge him don't worry, he can only be fought at night from 12 midnight to 1 AM NST. <!-- If someone could please verify that time I'd appreciated it --> It is only an educated guess of mine because that is the same time he is awake for Deadly Dice. This [http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=4 Neopian Times article] only says "at certain times".)
Has the sponsor abilities Frost, Psychic Attack and Scorch.

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.
==Better Than You==
Count Von Roo has been featured in [[Better Than You]] on 9 August 2012.


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.)
{{BTY|9 August 2012|Of course I'm qualified to be the king's treasurer! I'm a count, am I not? But on a more serious note, [[King Roo]] would do well to hire me; who better to keep track of his treasury than one whom all good little Blumaroos fear? Mwahahahaha!|Roodoku|1,190|Stack of Tax Return Forms}}
 
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.
