Rollathorn

## Physical information

**Rollathorn** is a boss character in *Reckon Crystal*. She is one of Wiltspine Kingdom's superiors and is possessed by the Yellow Crystal.

Her design is adopted, but it's unclear who designed her.

## Official description

*"Ruling Wiltspine Kingdom, this monstrous insect roams the underground to make sure the surface doesn't get any threats. Already used to its dangers, Rollathorn implies fear to anyone who gets on her path, and should they hurt her, she has the answer to scare them off -CENTIPEDES!! She means well, but with those antennas, that length, and that hissing, it's impossible to trust her without thinking of the negative outcomes.*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Rollathorn is a long, huge centipede monster with a wine pink body, a rose-pink underbelly, and several dark blue legs on the sides -or the front in the case of the first four segments. She has heavily slanted eyes with fuchsia ring-target irises in a black sclera, two large eyelashes on each of them, six dark blue horns on top of the head, two fuchsia antennas, a fuchsia insect mouth, and a fuchsia spike on her throat. Additionally, she has black thorns growing on the first segment after the head, and two fuchsia stingers at the final segment.

## Development

Rollathorn was one of the first bosses conceptualized for *Reckon Crystal* -as Soak Speed. Her original name was **Qwaggle** and was originally male.

The concept involved Qwaggle resting over a lollipop sphere holding the Yellow Crystal -formerly Yellow Shard. Attempting to break the sphere, Earthstar woke up Qwaggle instead, initiating the boss fight. As it was not further elaborated on, it was unclear how Qwaggle would have been defeated.

### Design

Rollathorn was initially designed as a red Wiggler-like creature coming from the underground and having several hands. Matching the theme of the scrapped Candy Hills, she was made of jelly.

The design Rollathorn currently has comes from a design LastyGhost adopted at some point of 2019, though she cannot remember the name of the designer, albeit it was gotten at a Discord server she was at, dedicated to *Just Shapes & Beats* adopts and roleplays. Up until 2021, when the definitive version of *Reckon Crystal* started the writing process, such a design was purposed as Rollathorn's official design, though it had to be tweaked to make her more boss fight-like.

In Late 2022, with LastyGhost's updated art style, Rollathorn's design was updated based on the Art Fight entry by Chyidii involving her.

### Name

Her name comes from *Rolling* and *Thorn*. It was originally the name of a scrapped enemy also made for *Reckon Crystal*.

## Trivia

* Because Cryonema's system does not register any other name besides 'Rollathorn' when identifying her, it is implied that she is the only boss character in *Reckon Crystal* to lack a proper name.
* She, Sting Samuray, and Sir Intercia are the only boss characters in *Reckon Crystal* to be adopted designs.
	+ Out of those, Rollathorn is the oldest design-wise, as well as the only one whose name/surname doesn't start with the letter S.
