The Five Scrolls of the Hebrew Bible are the Song of Songs, the Book of Ruth, the Book of Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and the Book of Esther. "Scroll" in Hebrew is megilloth and occasionally when you read about these they're called the Five Megilloth.

To tell you where my mind is, each time I read that phrase I think to myself, "Man, that sounds like a fucking kickass boss name. 'Enter the dungeon and at the end you will find a worthy adversary: the Five Megilloth.'" What would this boss be like? What elements would it have? Is it a five-headed beast? Or maybe it has five different forms. Damn, now I'm excited.

To you Hebrew nuts out there: Yeah, yeah, I know the modern spelling is "megillot," but I'm going over my dad's Sancino books and that's what they used.

  1. I think it would first be five separate bosses that then merge into one final boss with 5 heads and 5 types.
