General Info

​

The more they eat the more they grow, but regular feeding should end up with a hydra between 20-30' at the shoulder at a couple years of age.

The crowned reigning head and the two subordinate heads are solid. The shadowy mass of their manes can shift and form up to fifteen other natural heads, which otherwise may only be glimpsed as eyes in the darkness...

Abilities

​

• Breath Weapons (Acid, Fire) The ability to breathe either a gout of fire or a spray of acid.

• Destruction-Feeding, Rather than simply consuming meat, these hydras can destroy to feed. The most delicious and sustaining meals are the energies released when living things die, which they can absorb simply by being present. They can also consume any energies released when they enact their destructive powers.

• Destruction Powers, These hydras are an incarnation of chaos and destruction. Destroying anything around them comes with natural ease, not from brute strength but from force of will.

• Insubstantial Form, Although they appear solid, these hydras can will themselves into an insubstantial shape. Like a thick cloud of smoke or fog, they can barely be touched. Natural

• Spellcaster, After reaching their first decade in age, the hydra begins to develop magical ability. The older they get, the more powerful they can become.

• Shapeshifting, The ability to shapeshift into any other form, without limitation. (This could indeed mean shifting even more heads than their base 18, but they would not count as natural.)

• Telepathy, The ability to communicate mind-to-mind.

• Teleportation, The ability to teleport anywhere within sight or that can be strongly visualized in the mind.

• Verbal Speech, The ability to communicate in spoken words

Bonding is technically possible, but they're likely to be uninterested in anything not on par with their own incredible power.
