Count Duckula (character): Difference between revisions

==Details==

As his name suggests, Count Duckula himself is very loosely based on the titular character of Bram Stoker's ''Dracula''.

Duckula is a vegetarian vampire duck, coming into the world as an accident. Unlike his family and ancestors, Duckula has no bloodlust, as when he was created, blood was omitted and replaced with ketchup. He is actually quite cowardly, with a distaste for blood and gore, to [[Igor]]'s disappointment. Although he retains some vampiric powers and qualities (such as teleportation and an image invisible to mirrors), common vampire weaknesses such as sunlight, silver, and garlic have no effect on him, as he is not a "traditional" vampire. In the episode '[[Dr Goosewing and Mr Duck]]', Duckula briefly turns into a "proper" vampire, desiring blood from the villagers outside the castle, but he turns away from the door when he discovers that the sun is still out.

As the theme song states, Duckula is rather zany! Energetic, good-natured, and ambitious, he is prone to short-lived obsessions, sometimes forming the plots for episodes, such as attempting to become a blues musician in New Orleans, prospecting for gold, becoming a cowboy or performer and opening [[Castle Duckula]] to the public. He likes to make puns and jokes, and even has the same snarky edge that Igor has on occasion.
