Hi, I need help with finding information about a creature called a "Pyinsa Rupa"? Info such as: Are they a divine creature? What is their role? Anything about flight, appearing in purple clouds or seeing a pair in flight is some sort of omen? I was searching on the web, but I couldn't find much info...

I found this picture on google which looks pretty close to what they look like:

Hello. I can help give you a little info.

The Pyinsa Rupa is a mythical Burmese creature specifically of the Myanmar culture. It has the trunk of an elephant, the fangs of a lion, the scales of a carp (fish), and the wings of a toenayar (dragon), or sometimes a bird, and the body a deformed horse.
In Burma, there's a joyful abundance of sculptures, pottery, painting, and textiles throughout the homes of the Burmese people, often placed in juxtapositions.

There isn't much else I can inform you with. I suggest researching what other Burmese creatures, like the Pyinsa Rupa, represent to the people if you can't find an specifics on the creature itself.
