Trivia

Origin

Hippopotas appears to be based on a hippopotamus while also possibly being based on the Bahamut, a creature said to have the head of a hippo while also relating to sand and earthquakes. Its sand coming out of its body may reference the "blood sweat" often associated with hippos (though the secretion is neither blood nor sweat).

Etymology

Hippowdon comes from hippopotamus, power and don (Spanish for lord and Greek for tooth).
