The Human Hydra

The Human Hydra is a many-headed monstruosity that serves as an unique encounter in Fear & Hunger.

Lore
When the darkness started to spread on the dungeons of fear and hunger, a group of guards tried to perform a Marriage of Flesh to save themselves from the madness and sickness it induces. The ritual did not work as these guards probably planned, as they became a malformed, multi-headed creature afterwards.

Location
The Human Hydra can be found in the Catacombs, separated in a small room. When interacting with it, The Human Hydra demands to be fed human meat. The player can either feed it with The Girl or with The Demon Child, but complying with its demands gives no rewards however and refusing its demands has no repercussions.

This serves as a lesson to the player that not every action or quest yields a good reward.

Strategy
The Human Hydra is a unique enemy in that it lacks any abilities and only hurls insults at the player during battle. It has several heads which need to be cut off.

Fighting the Human Hydra has no benefit and reaps no loot, therefore making fighting it unnecessary unless you are simply interested in the encounter for its uniqueness.

Trivia
