 You're fighting the Deadly Hydra

From deep within a cave high above the shoreline, a snake with a hundred heads looms above you, ancient and bloodthirsty. Strike one head off, and two more will grow in its place!

So unless you're planning on opening a profitable chain of Hydra-head barbecues, maybe attack the heart, or the liver, or something non-neck-related.

Notes

• This monster cannot be copied.
• The hydra can eat 2 crewmembers:

The Hydra grabs midshipman <crewman> with one mouth, and crewman <crewman> with another, swallowing them both whole. How rude.

The Hydra lunges at the deck with a dozen starving mouths, but fortunately misses with ten of them. Unfortunately, two mouths swallow two crewmen whole.

The Hydra thumps its serpentine body on the deck, flattening both the midshipman and the best boy.

The Hydra swallows crewman <crewman> with one mouth and bo'sun mate <crewman> with another.
