Bombpire (initially localized as Count Dracu-boom) is a boss in Panic Bomber (VB) and Pocket Bomberman.
==Description==
===Panic Bomber (VB)===
In Panic Bomber, he is the leader of the Midnight Bombers and the fourth boss, fought in Doom Castle. Upon defeating him, Bomberman wins the Gold Bomber, but Pretty Bomber is after the Gold Bomber Statue after his defeat. In-game, he is the ruler of Doom Castle and the whole of Ever-Mist, before Bomberman successfully overthrown him, and he is said to be prone to becoming very angry.
===Pocket Bomberman===
In Pocket Bomberman, Bombpire (under his original name) is the Jump Game boss in the Hard Level. He is described as a mischievous vampire. He moves left and right, flapping his collar like they're wings. When Bomberman is level with him, Bombpire makes a quick rush attack toward him. He will harm Bomberman on collision. Each time he is defeated, the door above him will open. He appears four times in the Hard Level, takes two hits to defeat in each round and yields 1500 points for each time he is defeated.
==Trivia==
*In Panic Bomber, defeating him twice in three rounds without losing will make the player proceed to the true final boss, Ms. Flashy.
*According to the English Pocket Bomberman manual, Bombpire is directly from Transylvania, is, searching for fresh blood, and is strongly confirmed to be an actual vampire."Directly imported from Transylvania, Bombpire is searching for fresh blood. If you want to stop his tyranny, select the Hard Level." - Pocket Bomberman Game Boy Color instruction booklet, page 19.
*This character is probably a reference to Count Dracula from Konami's Castlevania series. He is also a reference to Dracula Bomber.
*Interestingly, Bombpire is the only boss from Pocket Bomberman not to be affiliated with Babylon, meaning he does things his own way. He is also the only Midnight Bomber to not appear in the Bomberman Jetters anime, specifically in the tournament grounds, mainly because's he's strictly nocturnal.
*In the Japanese version of Panic Bomber (VB), Bombpire's dialogue for his introduction and defeat are "You've done well to gather the medals. However, it was all in vain! I'll finish you in a 3-match bout!" and "I, I lost... The Golden Bomberman is yours...!", while in the English version, his dialogues are "I shall beat you in a three-game match. These Medals are MINE!" and "Shucks, I lost... I give you the Gold Bomber." Also, in the Japanese version, after he has lost, Count Dracu-boom calls Bomberman "omae", which is a rude way of saying "you".
