Biography of Count Duckula
The Duckulas of Transylvania have come a long way, expanding to almost 20 generations since 1199. Count Duckula XVII is the last of this long line, and is very different from his ancestors, thanks to a mishap which involved the replacement of bat's wing blood with tomato ketchup. While it still worked, this had caused him to become a vegetarian. He would refuse to eat meat and drink blood, in fact the very thought of blood would make him queasy. So, he'd rather tuck into a broccoli sandwich, while sipping on hot cocoa and munching on chocolate digestives.
Sadly for him, not so many people are convinced that he's not the blood-sucking prince of darkness he's supposed to be. For a start, his butler Igor is incredibly disappointed by his master's new personality and is trying everything to revert him to his monstrous ways. Then there's Doctor Von Goosewing, who is still very convinced that the vampire still roams in Transylvania, and aims to be the world's greatest vampire hunter. As for Nanny, well, as much as she's the only one who cares for him in a maternal manner, Duckula can never get away from her clumsiness and her suffocating hugs.
Also unlike his ancestors, Duckula has a dream. A desire to become rich and famous, and to travel to somewhere less dreary and miserable than Transylvania. Fortunately he is able to travel, using the Magic Coffin hidden in the cellar to teleport the entire castle to his desired location. This has a setback though, for whenever it is dawn in Transylvanian Eastern Standard Time, the castle returns to its original spot, often leaving Duckula and his servants stranded.
Sometimes Duckula's cravings for fame and fortune can go overboard. Several times he has done irrational things, such as trading his servants and even the castle for say an out of date treasure map, or opening the castle for public view. Alas, many of his attempts to get any sort of money backfire, even when he actually succeeds, and in no time things go back to normal.
