The Pygmy Hippopotamus was a charmable animal found in the boggy areas of Istan.

Locations[edit]

Istan
- Lahtenda Bog

Trivia[edit]

The Pygmy Hippo was featured during the Nightfall World Preview Event but it was removed prior to release because its model/skeleton was useful for only one creature.
- Crocodiles were placed in the spawning locations used by the hippopotami.
- The Hippo makes a reappearance in Eye of the North (hard mode only): when exploring the areas around Ventari's sanctuary (Arbor Bay), several Aggressive Hippopotamus will spawn; they cannot be charmed.
- Developers need to limit the number of charmable animals for programming reasons (each possible pet means reserving additional data to be available for download in every zone).^[1]
