Hippo

Inhabitant of the Fade to Black region, possibly indigenous, now considered extinct. Found in the nations of F2B and Not F2B, the Hippo was considered a sub-human pest to be systematically hunted and tortured. Some say that all it really wanted was to be loved, while others say it really wanted to be hunted and tortured.

Upon the proposal in the United Nations (UN) of The Eon Convention on Genocide, the liberal media editorialized about the potential for UN action against F2B and its citizens. However, following the passage of The Eon Convention on Genocide as a UN resolution, it became clear that the international community generally considered the Hippo to be a non-sentient animal, despite the Hippo's renowned skill for mimicking human behavior and some well-documented attempts at interbreeding between Hippo and humans. For example, see The Eon Convention on Genocide - Official Discussion. Whether this is due to some linguistic and geographic confusion between the Hippo and the very different hippopotamus or even the flightless hippo of Sirocco can only be speculated.
