Dratula
“"VHAT?!! DID YOU CALL ME A STINKY PENGVIN?!!"”
― Dratula, Dream BBQ
Dratula is a character who appears in Dream BBQ. He is one of the characters that populate the Hub.
Appearance
Dratula is a bulky character. His head is bald and yellow, sporting long ears that point outward. His face consists of only a sheet of paper taped to his head that shifts between different Kaomoji to show expressions. He sports large red hands with pointy fingers, and the lower half of his body resembles that of a penguin, having orange clawed feet, a white belly, black sides, and a small, black tail.
His outfit consists of a large, black coat with a brown undershirt decorated with a brown rose at the neck.
Personality
Dratula appears to think very highly of himself, oftentimes to the point of possibly being overdramatic. When Ena confronts him alongside Froggy, he immediately introduces himself as "the Boss", but when Froggy claims he isn't, he gives up and dramatically introduces himself with clouds and thunder. One of his extra dialogues also has him claim he is "so stronk" since he is a vampire. After Ena is given her first job from Froggy, he is quick to defend himself from being called a "stinky pengvin" despite Ena never calling him that.

Cultural references and inspirations

- One of the faces that appears on Dratula's 3D model is a henohenomoheji.
- Dratula seems to be semi-based on Dracula from Space Funeral, which Vinny has played. A line of Dracula's is also semi-referenced by Gabo.
- He opens with "Good evenink", similar to the "Good mornink" that Dratula says.
- Not only does Dracula also like to repeat that he is Dracula, the same kind of bit that Dratula does, but the song that plays in Dracula's room is known as Penguin's Dance.
