I had a terrible game one time where the DM never planned anything but skimming some text before a session and we came across a false hydra

I mean according to records no one has ever been eaten by the false hydra...

I'm imagining a false hydra that doesn't kill.. but just pranks people.

I had a friend play a deaf monk, and he was frantically trying to tell us what was happening. since he was deaf he wasn't affected

In a campaign my paladin planned to make marks on his shield whenever he saw something but when he went to do it there were already two marks.

Noxu :
so would a deaf player character be affected by the false hydra's memory song? If so then would there just be one person who could see this "invisible" monster whilst everyone else sees things as "normal"?

I did a false hydra campaign. it stretched over three months. and I was gas lighting my players like it was my job. they all agreed it was the best

I love the concept of someone in the party reading a past journal entry they forgot writing, and it describes a party member that they never heard of

bonus points if after they kill it they end up remembering adventurers who had been with them since lvl 1

HolyCarrot :
I have a question. you said "anyone who hears the song forgets about the hydra" does that mean that my DnD character who is deaf would be able to remember it?

this story is the only example I've ever heard of a false hydra, to the point where I feel it's the only case it works.

If my DM ever plays a False Hydra, they shall never know peace again.

Ameabo (Chucky’s version) 🎃👻 :
Is it possible to escape from a false hydra after being eaten? It’d be cool for that to be a PC’s backstory and they have to reclaim their identity
