The article states that you only need to cut off one of the hydra's 7 heads in order to kill it, but a recently added screenshot shows a '''living''' hydra which has had several of its heads lopped off. Does beheading actually cause instant death on hydras, or does it just cause them to bleed to death (or just instantly give in to pain)? --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 20:30, 22 January 2010 (UTC) | The article states that you only need to cut off one of the hydra's 7 heads in order to kill it, but a recently added screenshot shows a '''living''' hydra which has had several of its heads lopped off.

:Hello, I added the screenshot. Decapitation is not necessarily an "instant-kill" with a Hydra as it is with most species. Hydras will die from it (unless modified for no bleed or something, don't know exactly), but not "because it lost a head", rather because it bleeds out very fast or because it falls unconscious and gets killed with a simple blow. The Hydra pictured died very quickly after it lost its heads, usually if a killing blow is landed death takes effect the same frame as the blow, so there is no way to check for injuries. --[[User:Overspeculated|Overspeculated]] 10:46, 23 January 2010 (UTC) | :Hello, I added the screenshot.
