Capcom knows you don't care about Monster Hunter Wilds' poor Rompopolo, so it's making the sentient bagpipe the star of its own event quest

Capcom has revealed that the poisonous brute wyvern Rompopolo is the least-popular monster in Monster Hunter Wilds, so it's creating a special quest dedicated to it to entice you with new rewards.
Between February 28 and March 19, 2026 a new quest will emerge. "After analyzing player data, we determined the least hunted monster, and prepared a limited-time quest for it," Tsujimoto explained, with Rompopolo being the recipient of this esteemed reward. Clearly, the monster is unhappy about this distinction, as Tsujimoto warns, "Don't let your guard down, since this monster has been tuned to be especially challenging just for this quest," with the quest showing it as a 10-star mission.

Monster Hunter Wilds director admits his action RPG's "difficulty curve was a little lacking" at first, but he'd love it if anyone who dropped it at launch gave it another try

The Rompopolo is a big, bird-like thing that inflates itself (and, by extension, can be deflated) and, frankly, looks quite horrifying. As such, completing the quest will nab you some unique items with Capcom showing off a lantern, some balloon-looking items, and most cursed of all, a Rompopolo hat which comes in both inflated and deflated flavours.
