Hippopotas is a small hippo-like Pokémon that is most commonly found in deserts and other arid places. Its skin color depends on gender: if male, it is tan with dark brown highlights, and if female, it's the other way around. It spends its time bathing in sand and avoids water at all costs. It also cover itself in sand as a protective measure against germs. It has a large mouth with big teeth. One of its more interesting features is that it can shoot jets of sand from ports on its body and presumably from its large nostrils. This makes its habit somewhat similar yet completely different from their real world counterpart. It prefers to travel in groups of ten. Hipppopotas generally eat fruit and other plant substances. | |||

It also cover itself in sand as a protective measure against germs. It has a large mouth with big teeth. One of its more interesting features is that it can shoot jets of sand from ports on its body and presumably from its large nostrils. This makes its habit somewhat similar yet completely different from their real world counterpart. It prefers to travel in groups of ten. Hipppopotas generally eat fruit and other plant substances.

Trivia
- Despite having obvious gender differences, both Hippopotas and its evolution have only one menu sprite and one Dream World picture, both of which depict the male variation.
Origin
Hippopotas is based on a hippopotamus, with army-like camouflage. Because of the spout upon its back that spits sand, Hippopotas and its evolution may be based upon the legendary Bahamut as, in some accounts of the myths behind it, it is said to support a bed of sand and have the head of a hippo.
Name origin
Hippopotas is derived from hippopotamus.
