===Physiology===
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.
