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.

[edit] Notes
- You can not capture skills from Rotscale.
- May have over 20,000 hp, and it can take several minutes to kill.
- The ground below the place where Rotscale stands is poisonous.
- There is a Statue of Balthazar right next to the bridge near Rotscale. When kneeling at this statue, you summon a Champion of Balthazar that, when talked to, allows you to remove 2% death penalty for 100 gold or Holy Blessing for 50 gold. This is especially helpful when vanquishing Majesty's Rest, or if everyone in your party dies.
- When you arrive just above the stairs, a group of Smoke Phantoms will spawn near the Statue of Balthazar.
- Not to be confused with Ruinwing.
- A guide to killing it can be seen here.
[edit] Trivia
- On June 15th, 2006, Rotscale started dropping the Rotwing Recurve Bow. The Scribe describes this change here.
- 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 - 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 near the Frost Gate (Slay Rotscale, since removed) in which the player had to kill it.
- Before June 15th, 2006, Rotscale was a Monk, not a Necromancer. It was with four Bone Dragons instead of Rotting Dragons.
