Rotscale is a mighty reanimated dragon from the Shiverpeak Mountains, near the Frost Gate and recently made a trek to Kryta, where many adventurers attempted to slay it. Eventually, Rotscale reached the border of the Maguuma Jungle, in Majesty's Rest, where it currently resides with its small but powerful undead army, including several Rotting Dragons. Rumors claim that Rotscale guards treasure, supposedly a weapon of value.
