I don't understand you... Why does a hydra have to lose its head in order to start eating? If it lost its head, when did it happen? And finally, if it really did lose its head, it should now have 3 heads instead of 2 (two new ones grew in place of the one it lost, at the expense of the one point of satiety it had initially). Isn't that right?
The GM wrote about this.
I missed the part about the point of satiety; I should ask Ment.

it doesn't block, but consumes the excess player.
Why? Necropolis devour happens after the block, so it should block, and it doesn't have any special ability related to that.

I don't understand. Please explain again.

I thought that
initially, a hydra has two heads and cannot grow another head until one is cut off.
If a head is cut off, it doesn't automatically regenerate a new one; it simply gains the ability to grow two heads in place of the one that was cut off.
Then the hydra eats a corpse and grows one head, then the hydra eats a second corpse and grows a second head.
Am I wrong? Does the hydra automatically regenerate at the beginning of the turn?
The hydra starts with two heads and a saturation level of 1. If it eats someone, the saturation level becomes 2. Now, if it loses a head, at the beginning of the night, it will have three heads (2-1+2) due to the saturation. That's it. In other words, the head limit is increased by one, and the saturation turns into heads.

Okay, I see, I didn't finish reading, I thought it referred to the victim.

So, if the Hydra eats again, and we chop off one of its 2 current heads, will it immediately have 4 heads?

So, it can eat even without losing heads, storing it for later, and then, when a head is cut off, what it ate will turn into a head?

Good nutrition is the key to a strong and healthy body. Makes sense.

Oh, no, guys, that's not how it works. You can only restore heads and grow one additional head at a time... It's written right there. The Hydra will just have problems when its hunger level is low.

meaning, she can eat even without severed heads, storing them for later, and then, when the heads are cut off, what she ate will go into the head?
there are also advantages to this. now I see that she can be killed quite easily.

Oh, no, guys, it doesn't work that way. You can only restore heads and grow one additional head at a time... It's written there. The Hydra will just have problems when its saturation level is low.
Yes, now it's clear, thank you.

Got it. There's only a small thing left to do: figure out who she is.

Does the saturation level affect how many heads the hydra can restore? I.e., if it's equal to 2, it can restore a maximum of 2 heads, and so on?
Can the saturation level only increase, or will it decrease back to 1 if the hydra restores its heads?

Yes, that's correct.
Can the saturation level only increase, or will it decrease back to 1 if the hydra regenerates heads?
It decreases. It decreases by the number of heads regenerated. Imagine, the hydra needs meat; how will it grow otherwise?
