The Big Bad Hippo is a noted Earthbender. He is one of the most recognizable fighters in the Earth Rumble tournaments. His extremely large size and his catch phrase "Hippo Mad!" are unique to him. The Big Bad Hippo's fighting style is also unique; he tosses handfuls of rocks into his mouth, chews them up, and spits them at his opponents. His signature move is called "rocking the boat," where the Hippo shifts his enormous mass from side to side, literally rocking the ring and knocking his opponent off balance.
