Ropen or Duwas (Photorhychodraco papuanensis) is a deuteragonist and former antagonist, one of the Elder Dragon-Level Monster, mythical creature, and cryptid introduced in Worldcraft Damnation: Swan Princess's Story.
Etymology
From the Papuan word, duwas means this species. Other words from Papuan are "ropen" which means "flying demon", a real demon in the sky when the night activates "stars" that have relevance to Lucifer.
Physical Appearance
Ropen is mistaken for fruit bats or megabats in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Unlike the real pterosaurs, ropen have sky blue or greenish bioluminescent colors, which are different from their diets. Their crest evolved from their Rhamphorhynchus cousins, with short spines in the back, a bird-like beak that resembles toucans, ranging from red, orange, and yellow near the blue eye patch, even the red crest with tiger's stripes, and bioluminescent markings on the head to rostrum, including the crest.
Their eyes are blue and gray. Their fur is in the neck and should be a collar. Its whitish and yellowish color and texture are smooth and wavy, making Duwas have fur not even above the wings; belly; beak; crest; legs; neck; hands; feet; and even the tail, only torso and near the elbows. Ropen's design is different from other pterodactyls, which are only living extinct animals as living fossils.
Changes (2023)
The Ropen's appearance was changed to be more accurate than previous years. The wings were longer than before. Their spines were removed, along with more brownish-white pycnofibers on the head, collarbone-based ruff, wings, and even legs.Changing the bioluminescent marking color from light cyan to light blue
Abilities
Ropen glows their wings, fur, and even spikes as they are active and shines throughout the area, not even 360°. Ropen can breathe light energy from their glowing bacteria or magic randomly. Ropen manipulates the air element with their threats when the enemies are in the corner. The tail is actually a flashlight that glows even if the dark areas fade. Ropen shoots light elements with benediction.
Changes (2023)
Ropen has new abilities; they primarily use their wingarms to pummel and pin prey into submission, and they will frequently fly into the air and dive down to attack. As well, Ropen can spit with bioluminescent bacteria or biofluorescence, greatly further causing lightblight. The ailment makes the screen blurred in white.
Skills
Wisp Pursuit: Ropen dashes towards or escapes blindness and slowness.
Bright Judgmental: Ropen pecks their beak after enhancing their own damage and heals itself.
Lait Long Mi (Tok Pisin for "Light to me"): Ropen glows their entire body with bioluminescent markings, and the flash bang deals blindness to the entire area.
I Have A Bad Feeling About This (Tok Pisin: Mi Gat Nogut Tingting Long Dispela): Ropen breaths a small amount of shooting star-like projectile causes blindness and stun makes more confused up to five seconds.
Glows Like a Star: Ropen glows to increase attributes, while during the night, in the daylight, they can't be used and go back to their normal attribute stats.
Weather Phenomenon
Meteors: Ropen uses light to exhibit bioluminescence on its body and illuminates at night to be mistaken for meteors. There is an increasing overpopulation of the bioluminescent bacteria left by Ropens, and some people don't know what Ropen does.
Ecology
Ropen attracts fish with their glow because of their nature by catching fireflies. Fireflies are natural bioluminescent insects that insert a certain amount of bioluminescent liquid into their spikes, wings, tail, crest, and fur due to their coatings. Ropen was aggressive everywhere in the path, except for the bioluminescent/light creatures to manage, which can't kill you when you are fetish.
Until researchers find the mythological parts for Ropen, despite popular myth, the Ropen itself was not fabricated by creationists but rather a story. Purportedly, it lives on a diet of fish and fireflies (using their bacteria on these wings or pycnofibers), though there have been some reports of the creature feasting on human flesh, especially from grave robbery at night. The ropen is believed to be nocturnal and to exhibit bioluminescence; somehow, these glowing wings or entire body were unknown.
A kind of healing fetish figure from the Upper Keram River in New Guinea depicts a bird-like spirit from indigenous mythology considered to be creationism; some scientists were very controversial about this bird-like figure. An entirely false accusation as renowned from tribes and rejected about the Ropen's life. These lights used to intimidate enemies or courtship. I am the only biologist to have witnessed strange flying lights.
It never occurred in the Davao region of New Guinea, Indonesia, to abduct any maidens because it is a migratory species, because this dragon rerouted to the underworld to kill the bride. Bad luck brings plague to most people who died by Rogan's actions. Some relatives have various indigenous names for Ropen, which in the local culture are distinguished by the names of indava, duwas, kundua, seklobali, and wawanar.
Ropen's ecological niche and diet are mostly unchanged, except for behavior, which is the same. Their behavior is similar to that of the eagle, falcon, buzzard, vulture, bat, flamingo, heron, osprey, and macaque.
Behavior
Ropen is a territorial and lovely species to attract female pterosaurs, or your girlfriend who leads you into the underworld wants to eat. Became very aggressive when the princez or male survivors when the maiden escaped could be killed under the protection. Ropen leaves all bioluminescent creatures untouched because of an unknown reason that is connected with nature. In this case, Archie, Belle, Varian, Melody, and Isabella prevent harm due to their respective facial expressions.
Distribution and Habitat
Ropen was located in Reinachos at their dark-roofed forest, candy forest, Mediterranean biome, tropical rainforest, and Taiga as their sustainable. On Earth, their original homeland, they are found in the Wallace Line regions of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

After that, the Duwas attempted to grab your lady and devour her in the underworld, but the survivors stopped them and gave them a narcotic injection and fish food to keep them asleep until they could be petted.
Lore
Bereshit - 300,000-70,000 BCE
Project Pashneia, a scientific project by the Terran branch of Deities to produce any creatures—animals, monsters, or humans—in terms of their own, was where Phanes came up with the idea and modified for Ropen. In order to complete a project before the early human uprisings, he created more light-elemental animals, therefore he kept some Ropens in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia border, home of gods.
Ropen's Discover - 69,999 BCE-present
The ropen is believed to be nocturnal and to exhibit bioluminescence. Purportedly it lives on a diet of fish, though there have been some reports of the creature feasting on human flesh, especially from grave robbery.It is reported to have a wingspan anywere from 12-100+ft. Despite popular myth, the Ropen itself was not fabricated by creationists. It was first sighted in 1935 by famous biologist and entomologist Evelyn Cheesman, who believed in evolution, and was well respected in the scientific community.
As is often the case with cryptids, the Ropen's true identity is subject to debate. "The first sighting by Cheesman described the Ropen as glowing anomalies, very different from the pterosaur description. A healing fetish figure from New Guinea's Upper Keram River, Lower Sepik/Ramu region, showing a bird-like spiritual Rhamphorhynchidae from local legend.
Years before the late 20th and early 21st century ropen excursions, Cheesman briefly explored the enigmatic flying lights in New Guinea and ruled out the notion that they are the work of "any human agency" in her book The Two Roads of Papua.
Many groups have now come forth with claims that the pterosaur sighting was made up by creationists and Papuans who were also creationists. Some websites even assert that the Ropen was a creationist invention, which is completely untrue given that renowned entomologist Evelyn Cheesman, an evolutionist, was the one to first observe the insect.
TROQA - 2100s-present
This pterodactyl steals either actress or a ballerina causes called Princess and Dragon theme by ecologists and royal family for the caring baby pterodactyls, one incident the ballerina named Lesley Thinemwell and her boyfriend Danny Hipparathos are actually eaten while in the underworld, made Rothbart Ilicha's grandparents killed by a natural disaster and many Cannon Rats (resembles Ark Survival Evolved: Aberration Rolled Rat).
As Prince and Governor-General Archie Buenaventura had fallen in love with Isabella's long-lost sister, Princess Rapunzel Morrison betrayed by Princess Isabella Morrison and steals the promise for herself and Archie, allowing its wickedness to permeate her entire soul because she is infatuated with Varian Valiant Debussie. While some claim that the Ropen is a romantic illusion, Ropens were truly terrified by Princess Isabella. After becoming sisters, Rapunzel and Isabella battled Rothbart Ilicha and his allies until their adopted brother Joringel Millerson rode a Ropen to the top of the tallest mountain on the Hybornia continent to stop the ozone layer.
