      There are very few pure herbivore builds.

      One exception might be vegan-class human builds though, who maintain a herbivorous playstyle even without digestion buffs by using their intelligence stat to pick the right nutrition.

      It's a close call actually, hippos are slightly faster than a human at top speed, but humans can run at top speed for longer than a hippo
      25-30 seconds for the hippo
      35-40 seconds for the human
      If there was some distance between you, then a reasonably fit human might be able to outrun a hippo by running it out of energy, and that's ignoring adrenaline, which can make you run even faster, and for longer than normal

Based on what I found during my research, hippos only eat meat when severely stressed or starving (insert another Darkest Dungeon reference here) and since they can't actually digest it, I think it's fair to still call them obligate herbivores.

      The UK government is currently in the process of adding hippos to the ivory act, in order to reduce trade.
      The biggest advantage for the hippos is that while they can be shot in the water, they sink, so the only way to get the ivory is to get in the water, with the other hippos and with the crocodiles. Poachers have to REALLY want that ivory.
