Il Cacto Hipopotamo is one of the Italian brainrot animals that’s located in a desert.
He is a mix of a cactus and a hippopotamus with a hippo head, feet, and brown sandals.
It trudges across an endless desert on giant, shimmering brown sandals.
This anomaly embodies a poetic duality of part plant and part beast, bound to a barren world.

Lyrics
Italian lyrics (original):
Il cacto-ipopotamo. C’era una volta un cactus gigante con una testa di ipopotamo elegante. Nel deserto, tanto caldo e vasto, due sandali giganti come un casto. Il cactus camminava sotto il sole splendente, con le sandali sorprendenti e lucenti. Per tutto il deserto, dove la sabbia si muove, camminava solo mentre il vento scuote. L’ipopotamo rispondeva così, con ogni passo. «Vieni qui!» Il vento soffiava, forte e feroce, ma il cactus non fermava, seguiva la sua voce. Camminò e camminò, senza mai fermarsi, in un mondo vasto, dove il sole non si può abbracciare. Con le sandali e la testa forte, aspettava il destino, oltre la morte. Deserto infinito, senza fine, senza amore, il cactus e le sandali temevano il dolore. Quando il sole cala, il freddo arriverà e con un sorriso il cactus riposerà.
English lyrics (translation):
The cactus-hippopotamus. Once upon a time, there was a giant cactus with an elegant hippopotamus head. In the desert, so hot and vast, two giant sandals like a chaste tree. The cactus walked under the bright sun, with the surprising and shiny sandals. Throughout the desert, where the sand moved, he walked only when the wind shook. The hippopotamus responded like this, with every step. “Come here!” The wind blew, strong and fierce, but the cactus did not stop; he followed its voice. He walked and walked, never stopping, in a vast world, where the sun cannot be embraced. With the sandals and the strong head, he awaited destiny beyond death. Infinite desert, without end, without love, the cactus and the sandals feared the pain. When the sun goes down, the cold will come, and with a smile, the cactus will rest.
Powers
Il Cacto Hipopotamo moves with the wind, and his steps carry unnatural weightlessness despite his massive size.
Because the anomaly has a cactus as a body, it can endure extreme heat and drought.
His jaws are strong enough to crush bone, and the sandals prevent heat from entering his feet.
Encountering it is to witness nature’s contradictions of being gentle yet savage and enduring yet ephemeral.
