The Roundillo (まるまじろ marumajiro?, "Marumadillo") (also known as Roly in the SNES/PS version) is an enemy that first appears in Truce Canyon in 600 AD. They are a fiend that vaguely resembles an armadillo. They possess a single attack, the Spin Attack - a single target physical attack where the Roundillo rolls itself in to a ball and proceeds to tackle its foes. They often appear together with both Blue and Green Imps, and are often seen being ridden by the latter (see: Roundillo Rider).
Ayla's second Tech attack, the Roundillo Kick, is named after this monster, with the Tech itself looking very similar to the Roundillo's Spin Attack. The old SNES localization of said skill, "Rollo Kick", might have been intended to refer to the old English name for this monster ("Roly"), but many players probably missed the connection as it is not as obvious as it is in Japanese and the modern English localization.
Name Origin[edit | edit source]
Their Japanese name (まるまじろ marumajiro) is a portmanteau of the Japanese pronunciation of "Armadillo" (アルマジロ arumajiro) and the Japanese word for "round" まる maru. The DS translation is basically a direct translation of this, though it loses the word play.
