'''Hewdraw''' (ヒュードラ ''Hyuudora'') is a large, serpentine monster and recurring boss in the ''Kid Icarus'' series. It is proven to be one of [[Pit]]'s largest foes and is very dangerous in battle. Over the years, it has undergone some of the most dramatic changes in the series history, gaining two additional heads as well as the ability to speak, fly, and breathe fire.

==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Hewdraw was once a single serpent that lived within a large pool of lava. It was light purple in coloration, had two webbed ears, and was armed with many sharp teeth in addition to a pair of larger fangs. Years later, Hewdraw grew into a much larger and stronger beast, now possessing a trio heads with unique personalities and qualities. Because of this dramatic change, the monster is like three distinct characters in one.

===''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''===
Hewdraw appeared in the episode "Mr. & Mrs Mother Brain" where it appears to be a rabbit-like snake. Curiously, it also has a shell on its back and it was flying even though it has no wings (Hewdraw wasn't flying previously, merely diving in and out of the acid lake, although it gains this ability in ''Uprising'').

====Trophy Description====
''A dragon with three regenerating heads. Each head has its own unique personality, and they are not known for getting along. One head would want to destroy a wall, the second would go around it, and the third would fly over it. All three are plenty happy to devour a meddling angel, though.''

*Hewdraw is named after the [[wikipedia:Lernaean Hydra|Lernaean Hydra]] in Greek Mythology, a multi-headed serpent that was ultimately defeated by [[wikipedia:Heracles|Heracles]]. However, in contrast to the myth of the Hydra, Hewdraw is not capable of growing additional heads. Instead, the heads that are cut off are able to grow new bodies of their own.
*Hewdraw is named and inspired after the [[wikipedia:Lernaean Hydra|Lernaean Hydra]] of Greek Mythology, a multi-headed water serpent that was ultimately defeated by [[wikipedia:Heracles|Heracles]]. However, in contrast to the myth of the Hydra, Hewdraw is not capable of growing additional heads. Instead, the heads that are cut off are able to grow new bodies of their own.  
*In ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', it is interesting to note that one of Hewdraw's heads asks if they could go home to watch TV. It is currently unknown how a three-headed dragon came about owning a television set, or if it may have stated this simply for comical effect. Moreover, technology doesn't seem to be present in the time of the gods and goddesses.  
*In ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', based on the color schemes of Hewdraw's three heads, the middle one is likely the original Hewdraw that was faced in ''Kid Icarus''. The fact that this particular head states, "Look how far you've come Pit. I'm so proud of you" after being defeated in his Reborn form further supports this.  
*In ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', based on the color schemes of Hewdraw's three heads, the middle one is likely the original Hewdraw that was faced in ''Kid Icarus''.
*Despite being referred to as a "he" during in-game dialogue, official descriptions such as the Idols always refer to Hewdraw as an "it".
*According to Pit, Hewdraw is one of the most well-mannered and polite monsters he's ever battled.
*Hewdraw is one of the three characters to serve as a mini-boss and a boss, the other's being [[Hades]] and [[Dark Pit]].
