File:False Hydra.jpg

The False Hydra has pasty white skin and a bulbous body with elongated necks that twist up to their heads. The heads are human-esque, but it has shadowy crevices where the eyes would be and its extended jaw and wide mouth reveal tall, pearly white teeth. When its first face breaks through the soil, it begins to sing.

While it sings, it creates gaps in our attention and is completely ignored: neither seen nor heard nor consciously noticed in any other way. While it sings, it exists in our blind spot. It uses its song to feed and continue growing unnoticed. It absorbs the basic memories of whatever it eats. The song works similarly to magic-like charm, but is also akin to suggestion, dream, and modify memory. The false hydra becomes almost impossible to destroy once it has multiple heads as it can then sing while it feeds

False hydras supposedly originate spontaneously as masses of flesh in the ground that germinate on lies, fear, and confusion, until large enough to feed on people. It burrows until its lair is underneath a town it can feed on. Its burrowing can create areas prone to collapse, but it prefers to remain partially above ground to continue its song. Once the town can no longer sustain it, it moves to the next town.
