Fan Casting Hipottu in Fictional Characters by Subeta Pets They'd Have

It is hard to believe that a water-loving, nearly amphibious mammal would be perfectly at home in the desert, but the hipottu is just that. It is considered a revered treasure in its homeland of the Saherimos, where it is found in the natural springs and oases throughout the sands. Hipottus are quite stout; they only stand at around 3 feet (91 cm) but can weigh around 400-500 pounds (181-227 kg). Most of this weight is fat, as their bones are actually very light to help both support their bodies during flight as well as keep them buoyant while swimming. Although hipottus cannot achieve true long-distant flight, their wings are enough to help them move short distances - primarily to pluck fruits and leaves from tall trees.
