For those of you who haven't already read the goblin punch blog post (which is linked in this post but is easy to miss), I strongly urge you to read it. It's a bit long but it explores the concept of this horrifying monster in a really interesting way.

As for actually running a false hydra... I dunno. It would be amazing if you could pull it off, but I think it would be a lot of work to set up if you're trying to manage real-life player memories as well as character ones.

I often find that blog post, which I thought was it's origin, reads too much like a creepypasta for me to enjoy.
