Blumaroo

Blumaroo Facts

Pronounced: BLUE-mah-ROO

Discovered: 25th May 2000

Species Day: 8th August

Native Land: Roo Island

The Blumaroo is a Neopet with short, soft fur that walks on two legs, although it can also often be found bouncing on its highly springy tail. It is recognizable by its large ears, beady eyes and long drooping nose. When balanced on its tail, it measures about 100cm, putting it alongside the taller pets in Neopia.

Recent evidence states that Blumaroos, as with all Neopet species, are incapable of growing natural hair at least on top of their heads (if not more) and use wigs instead modelled after Faeries. However, many examples appear to cast this in doubt.

Blumaroos can be found all over Neopia, and there seems to be a sizeable population of them in Happy Valley. However, their native land is probably Roo Island, which is inhabited by almost no other species. They are highly athletic Neopets, with amazing jumping skills. Blumaroos are naturally optimistic creatures, almost always to be found in a happy mood; they are fond of the simple pleasures in life, such as music, acrobatics and dice games.

The Blumaroo was introduced to the site on the 25th day of Hunting, Year Two (known to non-Neopians as May 25th, 2000), the same day as the Zafara. Its name may be related to the Australian animal the kangaroo, which looks rather different, but is also fond of bouncing around the landscape. Blumaroos have changed remarkably little over the years, with only a few odd creases in their skin being ironed out. However, it's a little sad that their current pose, unlike older ones, doesn't show off the lovely heart-shaped pads on the soles of the Blumaroo's feet.

A Few Famous Blumaroos

Aristotle A. Avinroo, also known as AAA and the Games Master, proclaims himself to be Neopia's finest gamer. Each year, he challenges other players in the Daily Dare and Games Master Challenge competitions. He is known to have a strong sibling rivalry with his little sister.
Bonju is ship's cook aboard the famous flying vessel, the Cyodrake's Gaze. After an altercation with the navigator, Hoban, Bonju pushed him off the boat. He owns a very fancy-looking cooking vessel, but so far nobody seems to have found a good enough recipe to suit it.
Commander Garoo works for Dr. Sloth. He's a power-hungry and rather unscrupulous pet, but Sloth probably sees these as overwhelmingly good qualities.
Count Von Roo is a vampire who lives on Roo Island. Although sinister, he doesn't seem to mean any real harm to other Neopians, preferring to play dice with them and sneak the occasional harmless nibble.
King Roo is the ruler of Roo Island. Although easily bored, he is a happy and benevolent monarch who enjoys playing games, and wants all his subjects to be as happy as he is. It's unknown whether he is related to King Roothless, the Blumaroo ruler of an unknown kingdom, who absolutely hates games of any sort and once imprisoned AAA and Abigail for their relentless promotion of such silly things.
