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 unique in that it lacks any offensive abilities and can do nothing but hurl insults during battle, thus allowing the player to attack at their leasure. Each of its many heads must be cut off in order to kill it. The Human Hydra carries no loot and there is no tangible benefit to killing it.

Trivia

 * The Human Hydra is likely a reference to the False Hydra, a popular monster used in Dungeons & Dragons games that is depicted as a serpentine creature with multiple human-like heads.
