Aren't hippos responsible for more deaths in Africa that any other animal? These DF hippos kind of just run at the sight of dwarves like pussies. I think they should be a whole lot meaner than that.

Okay, so as I was typing this a hippo mangled one of my wood cutters, but still, it took them long enough.

Now thats ironic!  

If you want to make the hippos meaner, make them more evil in the raws or give them a sight boost.

Or just give them the ability to breathe fire.

I'm not positive, but I believe its the "[LARGE_PREDATOR]" tag that causes animals to chase dwarves (as opposed to avoid them, usually).

Lemese...  doing a source search, LARGE_PREDATOR affects:

• whether or not they ambush in adv mode

• their frequency vs. the savagery of maps

• whether or not you can have multiple groups of them on the map

• they are candidates for mention in the intro paragraph

• whether or not they attack in adventure mode ([BENIGN] controls this in dwarf mode)

• your adv mode party members won't attack regular non-undead non-large-predators
