Rompopolo, a Brute Wyvern, first appears in Chapter 2, Mission 2-1: Toward Fervent Fields, within the Oilwell Basin. Defeating it is key to progressing to Azuz City. After your first victory, its entry unlocks in your Large Monster Field Guide. You can re-engage Rompopolo repeatedly in the Oilwell Basin or via the "Oilwell Basin Blast" Optional Quest.

For optimal preparation, equip water-element weapons (obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest) and fire-resistant gear (also farmable from Uth Duna or later from Ajarakan). Consider crafting a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I talisman. A hearty meal will boost your health and stamina.

Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging swipe attack.
Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
Poison Stream or Swipe: A poison gas attack, either sprayed or swiped.
Oil Explosion: Rompopolo ignites oil pools, causing explosions.

Capture or kill? Both are viable. To capture, weaken Rompopolo until your Palico notes its exhaustion. Use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps, followed by a Tranq Bomb. While the exact item differences are still being confirmed, killing versus capturing will affect your rewards.
