Ooga Booga is a town/township in Ooga Booga Land

Background

The township (and surrounding region) is a slightly morbid and spooky village of the deceased. The town of Ooga Booga, and the darker lands of the kingdom around is the Land of the Dead in the Realm of Eldritch.

Behind the Scenes

According to the Gravedigger, those who die in the Realm of Eldritch are moved onto Ooga Booga. Everyone 'living' in the realm are dead as a doornail, for the most part. As such it acts as a kind of afterlife for those of Eldritch.

Ooga Booga is apparently known as the Land of the Dead in Eldritch[1]. Either that, or she knows of the Realm of the Dead in the Land of the Green Isles. But under the context of rotting together in the coffin, for eternity, and based on what she says in KQ7, it appears she intended to leave them locked away in Ooga Booga for a thousand years. As Eldritch's Land of the Dead, that would mean that Vlad Tsepish is the Lord of the Dead for the land. He may be the equivalent of the Lord of the Dead or personification of Death for Ooga Booga.

Several characters in the game also note had the Volcano erupted and destroyed the world that Ooga Booga would see a huge surge in population (also suggesting that those die in Eldritch go on to exist in Ooga Booga).

Ooga Booga is apparently considered a kingdom although it is ruled by a count. Perhaps he also holds the title of king, but this is never specifically mentioned.[2]
