hippo crates 

Huge sturdy packing-cases specially designed for humanely shipping large water-loving herbivores. Invented by the famous ancient philosopher.
Too bad Hippocrates wasn't born more recently, or his animal-transporting invention would have been much easier to create --- he could have just lined a number of modern large metal shipping-containers with foam-rubber, added fresh-air vents and some form of toilet-fixture, and voila! --- hippo crates.

Hippocrate

A container used in the transport of the large animal known as a hippopotamus (not to be confused with an elephant). These hippos are prone to anger and violence, most likely due to their confinement, so the hippocrate must be very sturdy and secure. A variation of the hippocrate appears in the documentary Jurassic Park, but is used to convey velociraptors.
The Philadelphia Zoo went into lockdown when it was discovered that their latest shipment of hippocrates was one hippocrate short.

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.
