Khises

Khises was a legendary hippopotamus in the fables of Cursrah. This character was considered a hero in the tales. In particular, Khises battled Skahmau the Wolfshead at the bottom of the Mother of Rivers.

Princess Amenstar of Cursrah had a painting of this battle scene within her private privy. Pressing the eyes of Khises and Skahmau would open a secret door to the cellars below the royal compound, and she used it frequently to sneak away to be with her friends.
