Roripah are strange and deadly beings that appear as six-foot-tall glowing green skeletons, their spectral glow hinting at their unearthly origins and sinister purpose. These formidable creatures wield a curved Dao sword that burns with blue fire, causing paralysis on a successful hit and allowing them to immobilize their victims before stealing anything of value.

Treasure seekers by nature, Roripah roam ruins, temples, and dungeons in search of riches and valuable artifacts. Once they locate treasure, they take the most valuable items and use their ability to teleport back to their home, where they guard their ill-gotten gains for thirty days before setting out on another quest for riches.

The ability of a Roripah to be turned as a Vampire only adds to the dread and mystique surrounding these spectral beings. Their unsettling appearance, paralyzing attacks, and ability to phase in and out of locations make them formidable adversaries for adventurers venturing into ancient ruins or forgotten tombs.

Encountering a Roripah is a chilling and dangerous experience, as their glowing green skeletons and blazing blue fire sword evoke an aura of malevolence and danger. Adventurers who face a Roripah must be prepared for their haunting abilities and ruthless tactics as they seek to defend their treasure hoards and perpetuate their cycle of greed and plunder.
