Ropen frigatebird (SciiFIi)

A ropen frigatebird (Gigantofregata osteokelpto) is a species of frigatebird that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coastlines of New Guinea and Australia to help boost biodiversity. The ropen frigatebird is the world's largest frigatebird species, with the wingspan of about 4.5 meters (15 feet) across on average, it exceeds the wingspans of any albatross species. The ropen frigatebird can be distinguished from other frigatebird species not only by its massive size, but also by its jet-black feathers, a tall crest of feathers, and, in males, a light blue gular pouch. The ropen frigatebird is primarily piscivorous, feeding mainly on fish and squid smaller than itself. However, the ropen frigatebird is also an extremely opportunistic scavenger, notorious for its habits of digging up recently interred corpse of small and medium-sized animals such as humans. Beyond that, it can steal eggs and dig up rodent burrows, eating what it can to bolster its daily calorie count. Ropen frigatebirds dig with their specialized feet with thick claws, mostly used to aide in the creation of their shallow ground nests. They spend the majority of their lives alone, save for the breeding season, where they track down the same mate year after year, and lay between 3 and five eggs at a time. The conservation satus of the ropen frigatebird is Vulnerable due to persecution from the native people through superstitions, however, thanks to the conservationists, the ropen frigatebird is a protected species and there are conservation groups who educate people about ropen frigatebirds and why they aren't monsters as often thought.
