My favorite was the Black Hippo. Though he's not in some of the HH continuity, and some consider him outside the canon of HH lore. I just prefer his story-arc, where he seemingly-betrays the hippos and causes a collapse of the white marble economy, but turns out to have been saving it the whole time... it still brings tears to my eyes. And the whole mini-arc between him and the Pink Hippo? Though it started as a metaphor for the Cold War, who can forget how it became one of the most significant gay romantic storylines of our modern era?
Oops, should have posted a *** SPOILER WARNING *** for those who didn't know that Pink Hippo was a boy. It's been a while, but some people may not be familiar with the later storyline.
i just *know* the green one was as hungry as the yellow one (lol if not even more lol), but the poor little guy just couldn't open his mouth wide enough to get those tasty, tasty marbles.
Donnie: My parents didn't get me what I wanted for Christmas.
Dr. Lilian Thurman: What did you want?
Donnie: Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Dr. Lilian Thurman: And how did you feel, being denied these hungry, hungry hippos?
Donnie: Regret.
