New Monster 01- what has seven heads and likes to scratch fancy furniture?

WELCOME ALL to the first post in what will hopefully be an irregularly posted new series here at ImaginaryCreatureAuthority! At the suggestion of lex922013, I have decided to include a couple self-created creatures on this blog. I’m not sure how this will go, but I’ll never find out if I don’t try!

And so, without further ado I present…

That’s right- a seven headed marsh dwelling cat that breathes poison and can only be permanently beheaded with fire. The Hydrameow, like all the original creatures I post here, is public domain. It is scheduled to be a monster in my current project-in-progress, a pen-and-paper semi-traditional fantasy RPG (I doubt the game will be available for several years. It’s still in the first stages of creation), but in the meantime it will just be a goofy meme.

Apologies to D&D, I used your Hydra image for the Photoshop. Hope it’s OK.

I suppose I should include stats. In my game, the stats are going to be different, but for now I’ll use D&D stats. Correct me if I mess something up or write it wrong- I’m not an expert with D&D rules.
