Some serious hunting went into figuring out where the '''Hippo in''' '''''Halo''''' might be hidden in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' after, on December 6, 2001, "Matt" wrote a long treatise on hippos, and why they should have been in ''Halo 1'' (and why they, for the most part, aren't) - but he finished with this teaser: | |||

Everything from the bottom of [[ | Everything from the bottom of [[Warthogs]] to [[Sniper Rifle]]s and everything in between were postulated, but they were finally spotted on the spent shells of the [[Shotgun]] that fall to the ground after the player has fired a blast.<ref>FrogBlast, [http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive4.pl?read=95679 Hippo on Shotgun shells...???]; [http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive4.pl?read=95694 confirmed] by Matt Soell</ref> When the shell is on the ground, you can see easily with the Sniper Rifle's zoom. You can also see them while reloading the shotgun. The same hippo is also on the walls of a building in the [[multiplayer]] level [[Headlong (Level)|Headlong]] on ''[[Halo 2]]'' in the tower on the wall. Also, a [[Bungie]] employee wrote in the "Personal Messages" section of the ''Halo'' credits, "For hippos all over the world", a joke pertaining to this. | ||
In the [[Halo 3]] [[multiplayer ]] map [[Foundry (Level)|Foundry]], in the back right corner there is a pile of garbage, in the pile of garbage there's a small picture of a hippo. You might want to use a [[Sniper Rifle]] to spot it. | |||
