Hippo men are animal people variants of the common hippo who can be found in savage temperate lakes and rivers. They spawn in groups of 2-10 individuals and should be approached with extreme caution; a hippo man is over 13 times larger than a dwarf and can make short work of any civilian who provokes them. Do not attempt to fight them without an equipped military squad.

Like other savage animal people, they can join civilizations, become historical figures, appear as visitors and be playable in adventurer mode.

Some dwarves like hippo men for their strength.

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Despite popular belief, hippo men are not well-trained boxers, and are not the kings of South Pacific islands.
