Count Von Roo is a vampire Blumaroo living in the darkest reaches of the Haunted Woods where no sunlight reaches through the trees. Count von Roo is a very solitary creature until he gets hungry. He has been known to glide through the night sky to nearby villages in search of a tasty snack. Neopians are cautioned to close their NeoHome windows at night, because if they leave it open they may not be there in the morning.

Although orignially said to be found in the Haunted Woods, he now also resides at Roo Island, where he sleeps in a stone coffin until nightfall.

Plot Summary

NeoQuest II

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.

Count Von Roo's equiptment 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 Batledome, 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 Neopian Times article only says "at certain times".)

Deadly Dice

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.)

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.
