Notes:

• Lottery Spawn from the Ajattaras around (F-9). There is one Ajattara in the narrow path heading up to Skyrend that pops in (F-9) and will sometimes walk up into (E-8). This one does not appear to be a place holder.
• Place holder is the first Ajattara you will see upon reaching (F-9).
• Respawned roughly 1 hour after being killed
• Has fast attack rate and very high double attack rate (~50%)
• Has additional effect damage for 120+ HP.
• Healed by Wind spells
• Immune to Slow, Gravity, and Elegy.
• Bind and Paralyze both land Easily.
• Possibly immune to dark based Sleep, was resisted on every cast by a RDM, and resisted Yawn as well. Susceptible to Repose, Lullaby, and Sheep Song.
• Very high evasion recommended for any tank.
• Luck-based solo on RDM. It can be very simple or it can be very challenging depending on your luck with Bind durations. This is not a recommended solo for an inexperienced RDM. Avoiding links and aggro adds an extra dimension of difficulty onto this fight.

Historical Background

In Medieval European bestiaries, the Scitalis (or Scytale) was a serpent with such a ‘marvelous’ appearance (glittering scales) that it stuns the viewer, allowing them to be consumed by it. It supposedly sheds its skin even in the winter, a time when most reptiles (and ectotherms) are hibernating.
