Capcom gives unpopular Rompopolo its own event quest

Capcom says the Rompopolo — the poisonous brute wyvern in Monster Hunter Wilds — is the least-popular monster, and it will receive a limited-time event quest to entice players. The announcement came in the Monster Hunter Wilds 1st Anniversary Message video, where producer Ryozo Tsujimoto confirmed a large-scale expansion and outlined upcoming event quests, including a Monster Hunter Stories 3 crossover and rewards from the weapon design contest: the Shatterseal great sword and SOS Meating Pendant.

Between February 28 and March 19, 2026 a new quest will emerge. "After analyzing player data, we determined the least hunter monster, and prepared a limited-time quest for it," Tsujimoto said, with Rompopolo singled out for the event. "Don't let your guard down, since this monster has been tuned to be especially challenging just for this quest," and it is presented as a 10-star mission.

The Rompopolo is a big, bird-like creature that inflates itself (and, by extension, can be deflated) and, frankly, looks quite horrifying.
