Game isn't letting me assign Malroth his own room.

Specifically, I can do this on the first two story islands but not the main island you bring everyone back to. Everyone's name appears on the list when you try to fill out a nameplate except his. Is this a bug or something?

And not only can I not assign him his own room, but when I go to sleep he doesn't go to sleep even if there's a free bed nearby. Any thoughts on this?

I don't think you can assign Malroth a room at any point. He also cannot be removed from your party until post-game.

Iirc in the post-game he does tell you a recipe for a room he would like, and you can build a room to his taste using mats that are only available in the late game, and so it's possible to create a room that he likes and will go to, but you can't directly assign it like you can other NPCs.

Lulu and Malroth are the two NPCs where you just gotta kinda shrug and accept them.

I'm fine with being "stuck with" them, but they really should've let us give Malroth his own room. Again, you can do this on the story islands (I just got to the third and it works there just fine as well), so it should be working on the main island too. Here's hoping that at very least he'll be going to his own room after he asks me to build it post-game.

You probably already have the solution , but I got the exact same problem, and the solution was location. Malroth was designed to a different area then the one I was trying to make his room, that's why his name wasn't showing. Now I relocated him to the area I want to build and his name appears.
