Character description
Peter is a hippopotamus with purple skin, a pinkish mouth, and an overweight physique. His attire consists of a yellow pith helmet and a white safari jacked tightened with a belt.
Accompanied by his sidekick [So-So], he explores the world in a time traveling hot air balloon to encounter all sorts of fascinating adventures. When danger comes near, Peter uses his "Hippo Hurricane Holler", a powerful blast that came from his loud vocal chords. The hippo is hearty, helpful and very friendly by and large.
In Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, he instead wears a tan, undersized suit with a red tie. His personality took a sharp contrast from his original counterpart, in that he is a sleazy lawyer with a penchant of womanizing. Despite his inappropriate workplace behavior, he is often described as one of the best attorneys from the Sebben & Sebben law firm. A highly recurring gag of Peter's is that he will ask anyone this question: "Did you get that thing he sent ya?" What that thing is wasn't exactly revealed for the most part.
Whereas other iterations of Peter Potamus have fingered hands, Harvey Birdman's version initially had this trait until the middle of season 2, when they are replaced with hooves. This renders him unable to perform basic tasks, including opening a mustard packet or picking up a cup of tea.
In Jellystone!, Peter is a "weeaboo," a pejorative term in the English language referring to a fan of anime or Japanese culture in general. His home is contained to the brim with plastic models, costumes and body pillows. Due to his hobby, much of the town sees Peter as an mild annoyance and leaves him in a desperate need for companionship.
