The character differs considerably from his predecessor on the 'Danger Mouse' series. In fact, the only similarities, other than the name, is they are both vampire ducks with ambitions in show business with little actual talent. The previous version of Duckula was an evil villain, willing to blackmail and force his way into stardom (as opposed to the current Count, who merely tries to get in the legitimate way) and was fixated on being a television star, rather than settle for fame in some other branch of entertainment. He has far greater magical powers and makes much more use of them. He has a thick accent consisting of lisping, stuttering and occasional squawks. Most notably, he was not a vegetarian in the 'Danger Mouse' version. In his very first appearance, he threatened to drink Danger Mouse's blood, only to be chased away by the sun. The 'Danger Mouse' Duckula was destroyed and fell to ashes, resurrected during the 8th astronomical house of Aquarius.
