Portico, originally known as Porticaol, is a Seboan Island and home to the Babies, Hippos, Jeks, Azurwronians, Leccers, Humans, Clovin Villdizses, and Sago's Empire. It is the main island in most books, including the Hippo Story series and the Before Beep Beeps Road series. It is the battlefield of the Hippo Story series.
