Summary0000245: Combat reports: gripping done by mouth listed as "tooth"
DescriptionIn the arena, you can see reports like this:

Hydra 1 bites Hydra 2 in the lower body!
Hydra 1 latches on firmly!
Hydra 2 breaks the grip of Hydra 2's tooth, third head on Hydra 1's lower body!

"Hydra 2's tooth, third head" should instead read "Hydra 2's mouth, third head" or "Hydra 2's third mouth".

Or Teeth. It is the teeth that are doing the grasping, after all. My opinion is that the combat report listing you as being 'Gripped by the Hydra's Teeth' is a tad more impactful than 'By The Hydra's Mouth' at least.

This is actually expected behavior -- if you check the raws, the body parts used by the attack are the teeth. I'll leave this open since the wording could still be improved.

So if teeth are used for biting can a wolf still attack with its teeth knocked out and do damage?

It probably can't bite you anymore, no.

I think the buggy aspects are handled by 0004503.
