Hydras.

[Shaprite]

You all know Hydras, right? Dragons with more than one head. I really can't imagine have more then one head. Does each head have a brain or something? It really weird.

Correction, "Hydra." According to Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra was a serpent with nine heads, two more grew, and was part of Hercule's Labors...yadda yadda yadda. I don't think there were other "Hydras" known of.

And yes, with multiple heads come multiple brains, one for each skull. If you observe some birth defects in animals, you can find multiple headed snakes, cows, sheep, the list goes on. Each entity has it's own set of organs up until a certain point. Just like in conjoined twins. Each can have their own set of body parts but share one of many body parts.

Honestly, I believe the Hydra is nothing more than a myth, or a story highly exaggerated.

Well, another sort of Hydra is "Mother Hydra" from H.P Lovecrafts stories. She is the Mother to the Deep ones, and along with Father Dagon, is a minor great one, Father Dagon, Mother Hydra and Cthulhu are worship by these "deep ones."

Though to be honest, Mother Hydra isn't really discribe as a greek hydra. She is said to look like a huge deep one. Heres a little tid bit from the book, "Shadow over Innsmouth" that discribes the Deep ones, that should give you a pretty good idea on what Mother Hydra looks like.
