I tried drawing my own interpretation of the Ropen! I may have gone a bit overboard with the luminescence, but ehh I think it's cool!
This incarnation is the ghost of Azdarchid that died in the KT asteroid impact 66 million years ago. Haunting the night skies of New Guinea, it feasts upon the dead, undead, and spineless libelous missionaries as its main source of food.
New Guinea being part of Southeast Asia is a bit contentious, but it's close enough that I'd like the Ropen to feature in some of my stories set in that area too!
