As their name implies, hippopotomi are found in rivers and lakes of tropical regions. They are herbivores, but they aggressively defend their own territory. A hippo' bites with exceedingly strong jaws, and a bull will do 3-18 hit points of damage/attack. There will be 1-3 bulls in a herd, 1 for every 4 animals. If a boat or canoe passes over submerged hippopotomi there is a 50% chance that a bull will emerge under it and tip the craft over. Hippopotomi travel underwater by running along the bottom. They can stay submerged for 15 minutes.
