Dolph (Hippo)

Dolph (ドルフ) is a minor character in Beastars and a member of the drama club at Cherryton Academy.

Appearance
Dolph is a gray hippopotamus of great size and a large build. He has dark, beady eyes, as well as the huge mouth and teeth characteristic of his species.

He is usually seen wearing a white t-shirt and red track pants during drama club activities.

Personality
Despite his intimidating size, Dolph is shown to have a meek, patient and calm demeanor. He shows no discomfort or nerves when he is called a carnivore or when Legoshi openly reveals suspicion of him and the other carnivores.

Trivia

 * He shares the same name with Dolph the Lion from the Shishigumi. Whether this was intentional or a mistake on the author's part is unknown.
 * Despite being introduced in the first chapter, his name is not revealed until Chapter 59.
 * In the Beastars universe, hippos are classified as carnivores. However, this is wrong as they are herbivores whose diet in the wild consists almost entirely of grass, with minimal consumption of aquatic plants.
 * However, hippos have been known to eat meat, and even cannibalize other hippos.
