| Summary | 0000516: Hydra body has NECK in addition to 7HEADNECKS, giving them two necks per head | ||||
| Description | When fighting a hydra and a dragon, the hydra managed to get injuries on its "first neck", "second neck", ..., "seventh neck", and then "neck, first head", "neck, second head", ..., "neck, seventh head". | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Allow a dragon to breathe fire on a hydra - the fire damage is usually enough to injure every part of its body, including each pair of necks. | ||||
| Additional Information | It's possible that the two necks are, in fact, the same body parts, just displayed separately - it's rather difficult to injure only the "neck, Nth head" or "Nth neck" without injuring everything else in the process. | ||||

Looks like it's because their BODY has the standard NECK in addition to 7HEADNECKS. Nice catch. |
|
|
Just wanted to add that this also might be the reason hydras are currently a little easier to kill than they should be. Though they can survive a head cut off, they often bleed out. This bug effectively doubles the chances of cutting a neck which causes (I'm pretty sure) heavy bleeding/a mortal wound |
|
|
I guess that would explain why they seem to have duplicate body parts when they show up in the wounds. |
|
|
Looking back, this bug has been present since the very first version of Dwarf Fortress ever released - the raws from v0.21.93.19a have the same 7HEADNECKS + NECK. |

Man that's depressing. |
|
|
rofl. Amazing. |

There's the long, long hydra necks, and then there's the nervous tissue/boney internal stuff up where the human head connects (neck is internal for humans, though it could have skin or not or whatever, there are various problems). I remember seeing this before and not taking it out, but I think it's confusing and that things need to be renamed if they go back in, yeah. The human neck would also need to be redone. In any case, the NECK tag is out now. |
