The '''Hippo in''' '''''Halo''''' is an Easter egg included in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', and ''[[Halo 3]]''. The original ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' egg by [[Matt Soell]] is a hippo design printed on the ejected shotgun shell. This is most observable when reloading the shotgun or when the shell is on the ground. The same hippo is also on the walls of a building in the [[multiplayer]] 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 most likely pertaining to this. | The '''Hippo in''' '''''Halo''''' is an Easter egg included in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', and ''[[Halo 3]]''.

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: CE'' (and why they, for the most part, aren't) but he finished with this teaser: | 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: CE'' (and why they, for the most part, aren't) but he finished with this teaser: | ||
