'''Hippopos''' are enemies in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' that look like big blue hippopotamuses with large ears (also somewhat resembling beetle wings) and a small blue warrior mounted on them. They appear in the [[Weapon World]]. Hippopos can accompany [[Glum Reaper]]s, [[Ameboid]]s, [[High Boo]]s, and [[Ninja (enemy)|Ninja]]s in battle, appearing in all parts of the world before the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|factory]] hall to [[Smithy]]. They can also fly, making them capable of using aerial attacks. Hippopos are also able to using various magic attacks, such as [[Painspout]], [[Solidify]] or [[Sand Storm]].

Among the [[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content#Enemies|unused enemies]] of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', there is one named '''Crippo''', which is a Hippopo lookalike. It has twice as much health as Hippopo. The only noticeable difference is Crippo's brown and green color and the moves [[Thornet]] which could lead the monster to attack itself and [[Doom Reverb]]. It is also possible that Crippo's name is a portmanteau of "cripple," referring to them attacking themselves, and "hippo." The unused enemy has no [[Thought Peek|thought]].
