'''Hippos''' are large [[amphibious]] [[creature]]s who can be found in [[tropical]] [[lake]]s and [[river]]s, where they appear in clusters of 3-7 individuals. They are the largest mundane animals that may be found in freshwater, though unlike in real life, in-game hippos are benign meanderers who will rarely fight back if threatened, though they may potentially be deadly due to their large size and tendency to knock or herd [[dwarves]] into rivers. An infant hippo is known as a ''hippo calf''. | '''Hippos''' are large [[amphibious]] [[creature]]s who can be found in [[tropical]] [[lake]]s and [[river]]s, where they appear in clusters of 3-7 individuals.
