Question on Typhon's kid (Pythium)

Seems the Daughter of Typhon and other hydras in Pythium show very few hit points (Typhon with GOR attached with 15) considering their size. Just a display bug? Looked on the bug list but perhaps didn't see it. She seems to take a beating far beyond the 15 HPs.

She has more than one head. The HP listed is for the head.

Basically numerous Dom3 units have "multiple shapes." One example would be Midgard's skinshifters. The HP listed is actually only for the first form. When this form runs out of HP, instead of dying it changes into the next form with a new HP total. This can be interpretted different ways for different units. For the Hydra, the HP listed is for a single head only, and numerous such "heads" have to be killed to get the "real" hydra form, which will have a much higher HP total.

Yeah. The hydras are really confusing in this regard. Maybe there should be some sort of a secondshape icon?

Oh wow, I hadn't seen the Daughter of Typhon before. She looks amazing! Kudos to KO for a sensational sprite.
