Ruck

Ruck is a deformed, darkspawn-tainted creature that inhabits Ortan Thaig in the Deep Roads.

Background
Ruck left Orzammar under suspicious circumstances, and now it pains him greatly to even think of such good times. In order to survive in the Deep Roads, Ruck took to eating pieces of darkspawn he found lying around, and gradually he became a twisted husk of himself. Presently, Ruck is confined to enjoying "shinies", and making spiders attack people.

Involvement
The Warden will discover Ruck eating a corpse, scavenging loot, or both, in Ortan Thaig. Initially, he is quite frightened and will summon several hostile spiders to do battle with what he perceives to be trespassers. Afterwards, Ruck will retreat into his cave, where he can be coerced into engaging in commerce with The Warden, interrogated, or killed.

Strategy
Tempting as it may be, killing Ruck isnt much of a good idea. Reason being he sell the unique Shield Of The Legion witch can be quite useful if put in the right hands.

Quotes
"Shinies!"

Trivia
Ruck is a possible reference to Gollum in Lord of the Rings.
