Trivia

• Ruantun is notable for being one of the few vampyres who have not received a graphical update since RuneScape 2. This is especially noticeable in his chathead, which uses the same animations that were used prior to the RuneScape High Detail update.
• Just as Count Draynor is a reference to Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, Ruantun may be a reference to Renfield, Dracula's assistant in the same novel.
  • Furthermore, When Ruantun speaks, he holds out the S's; this is most likely a nod to the trope of all classical vampires in other media speaking with an exaggerated Romanian accent, first made famous by Bela Lugosi's live action portrayal of Dracula in the 1931 film.
