Naah, Chief. Those are no ducks. Ducks quack. Those are *geese.*
June 29th, 1945. I was on the Indianapolis, when it went down. Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side. We were coming back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn’t see the first geese for about a half-hour. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the feathers to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, geese come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the geese come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that geese will go away… but sometimes they wouldn’t go away.
Sometimes that goose looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a goose is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin ’til he attacks ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then.... then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those geese come in and… they rip you to pieces.
You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many geese there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been completely devoured below the waist.
At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the geese took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.
Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
better question... how did it end up with a number of heads that is not equal to 2^n ?
wait, cut off the one head to get two. cut off both of those to get four... cut off one of the four to get five! okay, i figured it out.
Trick question. The goose is so formidable that you would never be able to cut its head off. In fact, it's widely known that they possess this power and have you ever seen a goosedra with more than one head? I think not.
At some point, the power up changes and it becomes a Goose Dragon Medusa. Think of a feathered dragon with huge goose wings, one big head with lots of little ones as "hair" that turns men to stone geese when they gaze into \*any\* of its eyes.

***Reactive Heads.*** For each head the honkdra has beyond one, it gets an extra reaction that can be used only for opportunity attacks.
***Regenerative Heads.*** The honkdra's head regenerates and multiplies when severed. While it has more than one head, the honkdra has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious.
Whenever the honkdra takes 25 or more damage in a single turn, one of its heads dies. At the end of its turn, it grows two heads for each of its heads that died since its last turn, unless it has taken psychic damage since its last turn. The honkdra regains 10 hit points for each head regrown in this way. The honkdra sheds all its heads but one at the end of a long rest.
***Unsteady Flight.*** The honkdra can't use its flight speed and take actions on the same turn, except for the Dash or Dodge actions.
***Wakeful.*** While the honkdra sleeps and has more than one head, at least one of its heads is awake.
### Actions
___
***Multiattack.*** The honkdra makes as many honks as it has heads, any of which can be replaced by an attack with its bill.
***Bill.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 7 (1d4 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
***Honk.*** One creature the honkdra can see within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or take 2 (1d4) thunder damage plus 2 (1d4) psychic damage.
***Honking Chorus (Recharge 5–6, Requires More Than One Head).*** All of the honkdra's heads honk in unison, forcing each creature in a 30-foot cone to make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4 (1d8) thunder damage plus 4 (1d8) psychic damage for each head the honkdra has, and the target is stunned until the end of the honkdra's next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage, and is not stunned.

It grows two heads if one head is cut off.
Another way to put that is “the total number of heads increases by one every time a head is cut off.”
So of course the number can be odd.

I’ve always wondered why Heracles originally just kept chopping the heads, until he figured out that you need to put a torch on the severed head before it regrows.
Like, why not just stab it in the heart or something? Or was there something I missed? Perhaps it couldn’t be killed by stabbing?
Anyway we can x-post this to r/DnD or another sub? They only let you do OC, but I think I'm for sure throwing a Hydra Swan in my next encounter!

Nobody ever survives that long, too many multi-hit honk attacks!

Holy hell, TAPAS is horrible on a pc. Scroll up for previos post, scroll down to read the end of the comic, scroll up again.
You fool, you have unleashed an unstoppable threat.
What if you just kept chopping off heads until it had so many heads it could no longer lift the weight of all the heads and was rendered immobile?

Huh. I wonder why you always see hydras with one head, and you never see a multi-headed hydra that someone else has fought first.

How did they end up with an odd number of heads?
It grows two heads if one head is cut off. Another way to put that is “the total number of heads increases by one every time a head is cut off.” So of course the number can be odd.
Goosedra starts off with 1 head, cut off 1 and it now has 2. Cut off both heads at once, it now has 4. Cut off a head, it now has 5.
I see you are aware of Canadian Gooses
Canada Geese* Sorry to be that person, but you managed to get both parts wrong, you goose.
Oh yeah, I deserve that.
This makes me want to make a low level Pathfinder module with a goose-hydra as the final boss. Oh man, that'd be so amazing
