Features

Passives

  • Many-Headed Menace

    The Hydra begins with three heads and can have up to five. When the Hydra takes Major or greater damage, they lose a head.

  • Relentless (X)

    The Hydra can be spotlighted X times per GM turn, where X is the Hydra’s number of heads. Spend Fear as usual to spotlight them.

    Note: Automation is not added so manually spend fear as per text.

Actions

  • Regeneration
    fear 1

    If the Hydra has any marked HP, spend a Fear to clear a HP and grow two heads.

  • Terrifying Spores
    fear 1

    The Fungal Hydra releases a blast of spores that cause fear and despair in all who breath them. All creatures within close range of the Hydra must make a Knowledge Reaction Roll. On a failure they take 6d6 magical damage and loose 2 hope.

Reactions

  • Magical Weakness

    When the Hydra takes magic damage, they become Dazed until the next roll with Fear. While Dazed, they can’t use their Regeneration action but are immune to magic damage.
