The ropin is a flying cryptic, reportedly seen in the area of Papua New Guinea. Descriptions vary, but it is often said to be bat-like in appearance, or to resemble a pterosaur, otherwise believed to have been extinct for 65 million years. The ropen is said to be nocturnal, and to glow in the dark. Although most reports hold that it exists on a diet of fish, there have been some reports of the creature eating the flesh of already dead humans.
