Hydras are a highly elusive drake found primarily deep within cave systems. 

Known across the globe for their multi venomous heads the true nature of the Hydra is a bit more complex. 

Much of it’s life the hydra will live solitarily, and living within labyrinthian cave systems makes that quite easy. Males and Females of the species are quite dimorphic, rarely coming across one another. However it is upon maturity the the Hydra will undergo it’s task of metamorphism. The multi headed dragon of legend is in fact a bonded and mated pair.  Females develop a bioluminescent lure, that both attracts prey but also a potential mate. Upon finding a suitable sire, the male will adhere to his mate’s back. This process is not immediate and full adhesion will take years to complete. An enzyme is released from his underbelly allowing for the fusing process. However females have a counter enzyme allowing for females to reject potential males should better stock be found. Upon full adhesion the males body nearly fully absorbs into his mate, even their brain chemistry will intertwine. His wings, however, will remain fully functional and as such will allow for the pair to venture beyond the cave for greater feeding opportunity. Why most hydra are double headed, there are cases where multiple males will adhere to a single female. The most dominate male remaining most intact. This typically only happens to larger more dominant females.

Other dragon species have following a similar convergent evolution such as the False Hydra. Male False Hydra possess a suction cup appendage on their underbelly comprised of highly modified ventral scales and females have the responding on their back. However this bond is not permanent and separation is capable.

I've finally finished the pilot chapter for the comic I'm starting!

Thank you very much for reading - I hope you enjoyed, and I hope I got you to look forward to more. More will come, and you will find it here on this blog when it does! There will also be additional side material sprinkled throughout between releases. I'm planning on setting up a more official distribution platform later, but if you want to receive updates without checking this blog, you can send an email (any email) to cascadeupdate@gmail.com and new updates will be sent directly to you!

I've got a couple years worth of material plotted out, and work is underway on the next installment. This is meant to serve as a hook for the story, an intro to the protagonist, and a sort of technical proof-of-concept for the marriage of my graphite work with digital editing. In addition, it's a small slice of what you can expect from the story going forward: a primarily character-driven drama with elements of horror and a heavy focus on fantastical ecology.

If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, feel free to share!

slugcat idea based off of my obsession with the yellow lizards . ..i love them alot ok

[tk-duveraun]

SY transmigrates but the system tells him he's going into SQQ and he gives that a hard pass, so it drops him in the body of a little demonic lizard in the Endless Abyss and then says "well since you right want to participate, you're on your own" and leaves him.

Which, rude.

So SY is an Abyssal Lava Gecko. They live in lava floes and nest in caves made by air bubbles forming in the lava and then cooling enough to solidify into walls. They don't need to eat, they photosynthesize off of the intense heat, but if they do eat, they produce venom powerful enough to paralyze a heavenly demon.

They're also all of 4 inches long.

Nevertheless, SY starts cultivating furiously so that wren LBH gets dropped in the Abyss, he's powerful enough to survive outside of the lava without starving or getting eaten himself.

He succeeds.

Sort of.

He finds the crater from LBH falling in, conveniently for him, it's next to a river of lava. This is less convenient for LBH who is unconscious and getting crispy.

As a lizard, he licks LBH's face to wake him up. He doesn't wake LBH up, but ingesting HD blood pushes him past his cultivation bottleneck!

Yes!

He transforms into a human!

...

He's only 4 inches tall.
