Ryland

Ryland is a doppelganger assuming a human appearance found in Act Three. They are ostensibly an animal tamer for the Circus of the Last Days along with Keren, but they secretly serves the Cult of the Absolute.

“

Don't get too close - beasties are hungry, and you look like food.

— Ryland, warning the party

Interactions

Ryland is found standing beside Crimson's cage in the Circus of the Last Days, at X: -52 Y: -32. When the Dribbles impersonator signals the ambush to start, they and Keren attempt to unlock the cages that hold Crimson and Shadow-Whiskers. After the cages are open, they use  Morphic Ambush and transform into his monstrous doppelganger form.

Tampering with the cages, including unlocking and opening them, turns Keren, Dribbles and Ryland  Temporarily Hostile if detected.
