Officer Thotamus

Thotamus is a recurring character in The Shortest Video on YouTube. He is a hippo who’s a police officer. He’s currently only been seen around the main strip and the villain's base.

In his first few appearances, he doesn’t believe Barry’s report about Barkley, the Evil Villainess and Rylo. In Episode 290, he appears on the phone to someone and says “I just saw Barry”, suggesting that he might be a villain. It was revealed that he was is the Evil Villainess meaning Thotamus works for her and is not a real cop.

He is voiced by Internet Star Savvy Amusing who also voices the two titular characters in Hawk and The Yak, Bitty, as well as other characters we have not yet seen in the story.

MF DOOM
In the MF DOOM video on Adam Schleichkorn’s channel isthishowyougoviral, he appears to resemble MF DOOM himself. He wears a black fedora, MF DOOM’s iconic metal mask, a dark grey sleeve-less blazer, a grey vest, white trousers/pants and white Nike trainers. He also has a tattoo that says “C-Lashes” on his back. He appears in one shot with a black beard

Before The Series
He was originally meant as an animal version of MF DOOM for Adam’s tribute to him on his isthishowyougoviral channel. However, he was soon adapted into a police officer for the series. The only thing staying the same being his character model (excluding his clothes) and his name

Trivia

 * He has a very similar character model to Rylo, mainly in his face
 * His animated model was created in Photoshop as were all the other characters’ animated models
