Vanna Von Goosewing (niece)}}'''Dr Von Goosewing''' is the main antagonist of ''Count Duckula.'' He's mad scientist, inventor, and a vampire hunter -- a spoof of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Van_Helsing Abraham Van Helsing] from Bram Stoker's ''Dracula''. He relentlessly pursues [[Count Duckula]], unable to comprehend that he is harmless. | |||

He is a terrible scientist, often getting injured by his own inventions. When not inventing some new machine or contraption with which to hunt vampires, he relies on an old-fashioned blunderbuss, which is loaded with a wooden stake (although, curiously, it will sometimes fire laser beams). Here and there he does manage to make an invention that works, but is never successful with its execution. | He is a terrible scientist, often getting injured by his own inventions.

Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]], who never appears in the show. There are two common theories for why this is -- one being that he is a figment of Von Goosewing's imagination, and the other being that Heinrich is a former assistant that quit without Von Goosewing noticing. | Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]], who never appears in the show.

He speaks in a German accent, often throwing in a basic word or two in German, such as saying “ein” instead of “a”. Von Goosewing pronounces “vampire” as “wampire”, and he sometimes structures his English sentences with the verb at the end, the way they might be structured if they were spoken in German: | He speaks in a German accent, often throwing in a basic word or two in German, such as saying “ein” instead of “a”.
