History WMG / CountDuckula

----

Ok here's a wild one, but what if the fact that he refuses to drink blood and become a traditionally vampire is protecting him from the sun. Seeing as traditional vampires and even the stone one we see in "a dark and stormy night" dies when coming to contact with the sun and our count is anything but traditional.

[[WMG: The show takes place in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/DucKTales1987'' and ''WesternAniamtion/DarkwingDuck'']]

** It's actually heavily implied that, at least for '''the'' Count Duckula, there's actually no difference: when the current Count Duckula the __ is slain, the ritual that Igor and Nanny perform causes him to reincarnate, rather then straight-up resurrect, allowing each new Count Duckula the __ (the present Count is Count Duckula the 17th) to have his own unique appearance and personality. Of course, the Duckulas are also able to breed (sort of) like normal vampires, hence explaining both the menagerie of cousins and relatives that show up in the show (like the miserly Roarry [=McDuckula=], a Scottish Duckula) and the more bizarre ancestors (like Lady Pintail Duckula, a female vampire duck who attempted to eat Castle Duckula).

*** {{Jossed}} by the mere fact that the new Danger Mouse series is clearly a reboot, despite claims to the contrary[[note]]The Danger Mouse in this series is not as intelligent as the original, and Baron Greenback is now German (and referred to as Silas "von" Greenback"), despite originally being British.[[/note]] It would only work if it were the same continuity, which it clearly isn't.

***** Presumably, the Duckula in the 2015 reboot of Danger Mouse is the 18th, since he's back to being a villain and all. Also, he wears pants now.

**** This can be explained as a product of the improper resurrection. The 16th Count Duckla (the one in WesternAnimation/DangerMouse) was into showbiz but was still a nefariously evil vampire, so Igor (perhaps reluctantly) tolerated it. But when he was resurrected as the 17th, as we all know, the ritual went wrong. This resulted in some of the previous Duckula's traits being carried over into the new one, including his obsession with show business. Without evil in him, this obsession became even more of a driving force, and one Igor could no longer ignore.

** Pretty much "unofficially official" as the creators have confirmed that the idea was that the Duckula from Dangermouse was somehow killed. When Igor tried to resurrect his master, Nanny mistook a bottle of ketchup for the blood that was needed in the ritual. By using a veggie-based product instead of blood, he was brought back to life as a vegetarian. As he does not need to hunt vegetables as such, he lost much of his aggression and other personality traits came to the fore.
