Are Hippos Truly Threatening?

In Zul’Dazar there are 2 or 3 different named hippos uses for WQs. Are hippos really that threatening that we have to kill them mercilessly?

They’re ugly.

This! 2,900 people are killed by these mammals annually in Africa.

Yeah, Hippos are no joke irl. Aggressive, territorial, and can mess you up.

You know those shark movies in which the beast attacks and sinks whole boats?

Sharks don’t do that.

Hippos do.

Guess you could say hippos are the wasps of the mammal kingdom. Wicked, nasty and if you are in their way, won’t be much left of you if you’re caught.

Hippos can be very threatening:

In South Africa, I saw signs posted on the road to beware of hippos coming up on the road from nearby waters. They can run really fast and routinely kill people there.

PS the second scariest animal I saw in the wild was the elephant. They are very territorial and will kill you in a minute. Lions are not the kings; elephants are. But hippos kill more people.

That’s because if an elephant hears or smells you coming, they’ll move away from you. If you surprise one, though, it’ll turn you to paste.

Hippos do not roll that way. Hippos are murder machines.

Hippos are no joke. Nor are elephants.
Seriously they’re large animals with violent tempers at times.
Go the other way.

Hippos are way more dangeresque than things like lions that’s for sure

Ha! You think this is bad? In Leg the supposed good guy faction, the demon people or Night Watchmen or whoever the comatose magikarp those owl people were, would go tell you to murder a moose.

You’d get there and it would be chewing on grass.

Hippos kill way more people than crocodiles. I think they outdo shark kills as well.

They’re just mean with a very very very very VERY strong bite

In real life. Hippos are VERY territorial. They will take you entering their water near
where they are, as a threat. They will kill you if you linger.

Wardens.
And yeah, I think we’ve established that they aren’t exactly sane.

Perhaps the WoW versions need to reflect this. Make them do 10X the damage they do now, and make them hostile… No more cute, chubby beasties…
