Hippo Herder “She has a way with the hippos like nobody else I have seen, she is a true Hippo Herder…” Description: A female boghopper dressed in shaman-esque garb (leather armour) wielding a whip, surrounded by hippos. Race: Boghopper Class: Shaman DMG: 10 SPD: 6 RNG: 1-2 DEF: 1 HP: 49 46 nora Attack: Physical (2 nora) Amphibious (1 nora) Hippo Herding (10 nora; When an opposing real champion within 6 spaces is destroyed, a Pygmy Hippo without upgrades is summoned adjacent to this unit.)

It is the same cost as voil caverns. I figured we could make a pygmy hippo of a similar sort of utility. And I just love the idea of seeing her leading a small army of hippos. You could also have something along the lines of a "Hippo Pen" which also has Hippo Herder as an ability. And maybe a giant 2x2 hippo that has the ability. That talks about the mighty hippo herds it leads. Or a giant boghopper who tosses pygmy hippos at enemy champs. There is so much hippo possibility here.
Which hippo are we looking at? the ones made by the spell or the one that comes in with the boghopper huntmaster, they have different states and i think overall having hippos charging around seems abit stronger than the bats. but hell, i'm all in for A GIANT HIPPO, doing hippo stuff.
Something along the lines of the new Young Bats stats. So 9 dmg, 1 rng, 0 def, 20 hp, 6 spd, charge 3, and maybe something else. Gore?
Yessssss... I think Huntmaster's Charm would probably need a rework with a dedicated hippo module for boghoppers. First of all, actual hippo champions except pygmy hippo stampede hippos will get Hippo (this champion has amphibious and gore; 3 nora) Mother "Sensing a deeper threat to the swamp, boghopper shamans have summoned the mythic progenitor of the pygmy hippos; Mother." Description: A clearly gigantic pygmy hippo.

THE REGAL PRESENCE WITH THE HIPPOS..... oh my firk i love this hippo thing going on. Hippo rider should be added into this mess and perhaps more types of hippo... Feral Hippo "The young hippos which left the pen at birth has come back to the swamp, bringing along with them the lessons they have learnt."
