You could create a hydra head, but that wasn't tagged as a head. They have only one real head.

Or You may...
Wait, what?

fix'd

Why not give the hydra only brainless heads, and put its brain somewhere in it's main body? A hydra is supposed to survive having it's heads severed.

I guess, we could armor up the main head with a few extra scales, and remove the brain related stuff from the other 6 heads...  could work that way?  For the time being...

If someone else is going to do it before me, go ahead... >.>

That's what I meant. Have six extra heads, with no brains, + the obligatory head with brain (the important one). Now it's down to pot luck whether you hit the right one.

I'd say this is a good idea. An effective 1 in 7 chance of dying from the system shock of losing a head, and the chance gets better every time it loses a head. When explained like that, I think it's a really reasonable solution.

If I had seven heads, losing one of them would still be quite a rattling experience. One with a chance of killing me that gets better if I have less heads. And this way, the thing can't live without at least one head.

No, it stops living when you hit the lucky head (the one with the brain). Unfortunately it won't work the way it should until Toady implements hydras properly.

Umm, yeah, that's what I was saying.

[Zangi]

Thats why I said to 'armor' that head up with scales or something, if it would help?

No other way that I know of for now.

[suicidal_dorf]

Umm, yeah. My bad.
