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.

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. 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.

Attractions

Roo Island features two games, Dice-A-Roo and Deadly Dice, a souvenir shop, a merry go round, 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 Yooyuball team consisits 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. Fans hope to do even better this year, thanks to the team's signing of Maraquan forward Jair Tollet, the most prized player on the free agent market in the offseason.

Trivia

  • According to the Neopedia article on Count Von Roo, one of the regions of Roo Island is called Blumaria, which is in the northern area of the Island.
  • King Roo's palace is in the biggest Roo Island city, Roo City.
