UPGRADED to Hippo!
Hippos are great swimmers, dominate the Lakes/Oceans/Mud!
The Hippo is the thirteenth animal in mope.io, and is the land equivalent of the Killer Whale and Sabertooth Tiger.
Technical
The Hippo:
- Upgrades to the Elephant, Blue Whale or Mammoth at 500k XP.
- Hippo had 3 looks: original(brown), classic(purple), and new.
- It's ability can randomly be larger than usual.
Appearance
Current Appearance
As of a recent update, the Hippo is now dark purple, with a large snout and two half-moon ears - which are a lighter shade then the rest of its body.
Past Appearance
Prior to the update, Hippos used to be a light shade of brown with no noticeable ears. You can see an image of their former appearance to the right, below the infobox.
Strategy
The Hippo can move quickly in water and mud. If a predator tries to eat you, use your ability to escape. To hunt down prey use your ability. Rhinos and crocs are the best ones to hunt down. If you see a big croc that's almost a small rhino. If you see a big rhino that's almost about to evolve; don't let it evolve just use your ability!
As a hippo, it is good to stay in a lake since you are the fastest animal in lakes. It would be even better to go to bigger lakes with 2 islands (islands gives better food) or lakes with pear bushes around it (pears gives a lot of xp too). Be extremely careful when hunting in the ocean because Krakens would love to have a nice little hippo for breakfast...
If you are being chased by an elephant, go into a river and go against the river's current (Hippos are immune to river currents but elephant get's pushed) and you can escape really easily.
