Rollay Scaleback

Rollay Scaleback is a boss in NeoQuest I. He is found at the bottom of the foundations of the Jungle Ruins, in the third level of the dungeon. He is level 25 with 180 hit points, can stun for 3 rounds, and can heal himself 45 HP. Upon Rollay's defeat, the player receives a Jeweled Crystal Key that allows you to reach Korabric at the top of the Jungle Ruins' Tower, and a Rusty Medallion. After showing the medallion to Eleus Batrin, then his teacher Gali Yoj, it is cleaned up and restored to the Keladrian Medallion, which can be used as a weapon against Faleinn.

Rollay was a researcher under Korabric while the Jungle Ruins was still a biology research lab. The researchers of the lab could create and give life to creatures from pools of water with their magic. When Rollay went mad, he used a lake that had been excavated underneath the Jungle Ruins to create hundreds of monsters at a time - beginning his experiments on Buzzes and scorpions and culminating in the creation of his lizard army. When the Pygmies the researchers were studying became hostile, Rollay armed them in return for their aid, and he gave Gors the Mighty the Staff of Ni-tas that the Circle of Twelve had sent to the facility.

Korabric and his team had delayed fighting Rollay in hopes of reaching a peaceful solution. By the time they decided to fight him, he had grown too powerful and overwhelmed them. Korabric was forced to seal himself in the top of his tower.

Sometime after this, Rollay was able to complete his goal of become a lizard himself, and took the name 'Scaleback'. After being beaten by the player, he briefly showed remorse for his actions and slipped into the lake he made his army from. He did not resurface.
