The characters of the degenerate representations of the extended Virasoro algebras associated with the 2-twisted Lie algebras A{sub n{minus}1}{sup (2)}, D{sub n}{sup (2)} and E{sub 6}{sup (2)} are derived and their modular transformation properties examined. Modular invariant partition functions for D{sub 2}{sup (2)} and A{sub 3}{sup (2)} (D{sub 3}{sup (2)}) are presented.
