The Rompopolo. Sounds like a bouncy, round little chicken creature or something, doesn't it? It's a wonderful word to r…
The Rompopolo is horrible, and I hate everything about it - the way its long, pointed insect beak chitters and jabs at you with its lashing, poison-laced tongue, the short, thrusty spikes of its spindly, needle-like arms, and most of all, how it plants its stinger-tipped tail into the muck of Azuz's oil basins, sucks up the gunge in large, throbbing gulps, and gradually fills its slack, shrivelled skin until it's full to bursting. The male belt coil is fantastic, too - a long, half skirt with scissors, syringes and other doctor tools all latched to the outside like you're about to splice open your next monster carcass and conduct some dubious experiment on it, pumping it full of goodness knows what with the tubes on the back of your gloves that thread all the way through to the claw-like tips of your fingers. Wilds' Ajarakan, for example - a big rocky gorilla lad who can ignite his craggy exterior with volcanic force - all but transforms you into the titular demigod from Asura's Wrath, while the enormous spider-crab Nersyclla, on the other hand, lets you morph into a veritable Gundam-esque mech suit.
