I wonder how fast they re-grow.

That could get out of hand in a hurry, if he just stood there taking it....

There was a joke a bit like that in the Order of the Stick webcomic.

The hydra they were facing was supposed to be a test of wit. Fighting it mindlessly was supposed to be a bad idea, since it would just grow more and more heads in response.

Except one of them noticed there didn't seem to be any limit to the number of heads and had an idea, so he let the violent bastard in the team go cut heads like crazy anyway.

After a while the hydra just fainted because it couldn't supply oxygen to so many brains.

And then somebody turned it into a fast food restaurant.

Impacting a copter blade means immediate inspection. Bad job, Hydra...

Why did Hydra have one head in the second pane then two heads in the fourth pane?

Also:

Is this LOSS?

That's the whole joke. Helicopter blade, hydra head, cut off, regrow
