Than ask your friends if they would like to play, though I would give yourself some time to get familiar with the rules and story, than set one day to have them make their characters an play the game the next day. I have found that many times most people actually like playing D&D once they actually get into the game/story.

Like a work up of how the attack rolls work, how ability checks, general write up of the monster's or character's info (hp, stats, abilities). This will give you a quick way of keeping the game running, and only if you absolutely need to have to go into the manual (this can take awhile). Also these write up can be given to other players in your group that want to dm a adventure to help them like it will help you. Feel free to message me if you have any other question, and i will do my best to help.

I guess managing to tame a hydra and mounting a balista on it would be a great way to outfit a dragonslayer caravan. Would be an interesting hook in a campaign; Have your characters come across this caravan as it passes through the area and let them learn that hydras become much more compliant and easy to train if you feed them true dragon meat - the only thing that suppresses their endless hunger . . . . . then when you let them go on a couple dragon killing quests and their hydra pets are getting fat and happy, they can learn that they are actually helping to "resurrect" Lernaea as a minor god of hydras, dragon hunters, and revenge. Will they keep hunting dragons even knowing the potential consequences? Will they embrace this strange emerging religion or fight against it not wanting another potentially evil god akin the Tiamat let loose on the world? Would be really solid for a mid level campaign with legs into the higher levels.

The skin is thick. But if you go through the stump of a head...

Everybody loves the hydra. Also this multi-headed monster can be appeared in Magic the Gathering. And it can have or without limbs. And I really love that guy.

If I were to write a hydra, what I’d do is have each head have its own brain, but they’re so well connected by the spinal chords that it’s functionally one big brain, until the heads are cut off. If a hydra head is severed but still kept alive, it can function as an individual, but quickly goes insane after losing the connection with the other brains. Alternatively, the more generic route of one brain in the body if I don’t feel like working out he logistics of many-brain-one-big-brain that day

You can have it like an octopus, each head has a small brain connected to the big brain in the body

@@shawnlynch7595 yeah, I thought about that. Each tentacle kind of has a mini brain, doesn’t it? I think that would be basically the same as the many-brain-one-big-brain, just one big spread out brain

Man, I legit just made my own little version of an Elemental Hydra (Each Head having a specific elemental power) yesterday and it would've been great to watch this video before hand xD

Good stuff! I wonder if more hydra varients or named hydras will be made. Cool creature type imo.

Starter town has a popular restaurant/tavern known for its delicious cuts of meat. They post a quest/ are always looking for burrwort, with no explanation given. If the party doesn't take this quest, maybe the hydra chained beneath/near the town goes on a rampage...

In Hungarian folktales, we do have multi-headed dragons which aren't hydras. Namely, we have the Three Headed Dragon (most famous/iconic), the Seven Headed Dragon, the Twelve Headed Dragon, and the Twenty-Four Headed Dragon (the biggest and the most powerful, obviously). The visual depictions vary greatly with each story, but everyone just agrees that they're dragons. When talking about the Lernaean Hydra, we sometimes refer to it as the Hundred Headed Dragon, or Infinite Headed Dragon.

It says they can only hold their breath for an hour but really only one head needs to come out of the water for a breath every hour. So it can effectively cave dive small air pockets, and “snorkel” and keep its other heads and body underwater forever. It wouldn’t have to go to shore to sleep.
