Rotscale

Rotscale is a mighty dragon. It roamed the lands of Tyria and recently trekked through the Shiverpeak Mountains to Kryta, where many adventurers attempted to slay it. Eventually, Rotscale reached the border of the Maguuma Jungle, where it built a nest in Majesty's Rest.

More recently, several Rotting Dragons have appeared near Rotscale, with an entourage of Smoke Phantoms. Rumors persist that a powerful and valuable object, perhaps a weapon, lies within the tomb it now guards zealously.

Although it looks like a Bone Dragon, it does not take double damage from holy damage like undead creatures do. It is not a boss, but can drop a unique weapon.

Trivia

 * There used to be a boss called Rotscale in Sanctum Cay. This boss has since been renamed to simply "Bone Dragon" to prevent confusion.
 * Rotscale is one of the oldest creatures in Tyria &mdash; both in a lore sense and a game design sense. The dragon has been around since the early betas in 2004, where there was a quest (since removed) near the Frost Gate in which the player had to kill it.
 * Prior to June 15th, 2006, Rotscale was a monk accompanied by four Bone Dragons; he now appears as a necromancer backed by Rotting Dragons and drops Rotwing Recurve Bow. The Scribe has further details in its article, Rotscale's Army Increasing in Majesty's Rest.
