I don't really know where the inspiration for this came from besides some desire to draw a no-headed hydra. Somehow they teamed up with that rubber otter from ages ago ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46574209/ ), and then I thought of a bunch of scientific talk built on the premise that of course a hydra's head-regrowing ability must be in its genes and if those go wrong ... and, so I worked out a reason why I could really just draw a naga and call it a hydra. Look, they're sitting with tail running back-and-forth, not coiled up, so that's how you can tell nagas apart from hydras besides headcount.
I tried lettering with a different simulated pen. I like how it gives the horizontal strokes more weight than the vertical ones --- it's very Pogo that way --- but I need to re-learn my motions for it.
The hydra's colors are loosely based on those of the Hydra roller coaster at Dorney Park ( https://rcdb.com/2528.htm ) though there's also some resemblance to that of Hydrus at Casino Pier ( https://rcdb.com/14231.htm ).

It was certainly an adjustment! Ironically the hydra was able to keep their head while everyone was losing theirs, and it's mostly been small indignities like getting photo IDs updated and such. And, of course, losing that height messed up their BMI measure, which shouldn't matter except there'll be physicians who look at that instead of the patient.
I doubt they'd be bothered, as the condition's something they're very used to. I suspect they feel it's a little weird everyone else makes a big deal out of it, but they've accepted that other people are going to be like that. After all most folks don't see a headless person often, even if they see one every day.
Also, how would she feel if I told her I also think she is kind of beautiful without a head? How different would she feel about someone actually complimenting her looks like that instead of acting weird about it? Or would my saying she's beautiful be so out of the norm of how others react that she'd think I'm weird?
Generically, assuming that it's a context where a compliment like that is reasonable, like being at a bar or some other casual hangout, I imagine they'd be glad to receive it. But I'm not completely confident about this, because ...
Well, to use the nearest real-world analogy, there are people who feel attracted to amputated (or never-developed) limbs. And people who have had amputations (or undeveloped body parts) may reasonably have mixed feelings about being hit on, partly for the fear that they're being seen as a fetish object rather than as a person.
The hydra is, I'm sure, confident about their body and doesn't feel at a loss for not having a head. But I don't know how wary they feel about other people's interactions; I just don't have enough of their world built out to say.
