Yellow Blumaroo of May 2006.

The Blumaroo (Bloom-a-roo) is a kangaroo-like Neopet, released on May 25, 2000.

Overview

Blumaroos are highly known for their long spring like tails, which they bounce on from place to place. In fact, it's highly rare to see a Blumaroo off their tail and on their two feet. On any normal sunny day, Blumaroos would most likely be seen bouncing around and singing, humming or whistling a tune. Blumaroos are also easy going, made apparent by the game Dice-A-Roo, a difficult game of luck and chance.

Blumaroos are originally from a small island named Roo Island, which is just off the coast of Neopia Central. The Island is ruled by the naïvely benevolent King Roo and his possibly malevolent councillor, Advisor Broo. However, Blumaroos can now be seen all over Neopia.

Colours

As of August 2007, they can be painted in 45 different colours, including the seahorse-inspired Maraquan style, and Halloween, looking like Count Von Roo himself.
