Stagnum Hydra (Tale of Dragon)

The Stagnum Hydra is a type of dragon from the browser game Tale of Dragons.

They were released on 27th February 2013. The hydras have a special breeding function that allows them to gain multiple heads. Hydras, when bred with other hydras, can create hydras with more heads. The head number adds up, so a male 2-headed with a female 1-head would make a 3-headed offspring. The maximum heads is 5. The hatchling of multiple-headed adults, regardless of how many heads the adult has, will always have two in its matured form and one in its premature form.

The sprite artist is Zwynx.

In-Game Description
Egg: This green egg is made of slime.

Hatchling: ''Out of the slime crawls a slimy, baby dragon! It is very careful and hesitant.''

Mature Hatchling: ''Out of the slime crawls a slimy, baby dragon! It is very careful and hesitant. It's getting stronger every day and has grown used to your presence.''

Adult: ''Living in swamps and very wet areas, Stagnum Hydras feed on fish, small mammals and other reptiles smaller than themselves. They are, despite their size, difficult to spot. This is because the breed is almost extinct and the remaining individuals keep themselves carefully hidden. Their numbers have dropped drastically because of poaching. The poisonous slime that covers their bodies is a vital ingredient in many potions and brews, making it a valuable resource. However, recently a few people have acquired Hydra eggs, and by showing them love and respect in their youth, gained their trust and company. One can never tame a Hydra, but rather become its friend. A hydra, once befriended, is a powerful ally at all times. They still remain very cautious of whom they reveal themselves to though, since stealth has been a vital survival trait for the Hydras.''
