In Chapter 3 of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', Hewdraw is split into three distinct boss battles at once. During the Air Battle of the mission, the full-bodied Three-Headed Hewdraw is fought. It consists of [[Pit]] cutting off each of the heads individually. Once all three are down, the whole body "explodes" and falls to the ground. If Pit doesn't manage to defeat all three heads in time, [[Palutena]] will use her Glam Blaster power and blast the monster, ending up with the same result. While the last head is silenced forever, the other two escape to the [[Town#That Burning Town|town]] below. | In Chapter 3 of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', Hewdraw is split into three distinct boss battles at once.

''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.'' | ''A dragon with three regenerating heads. Each head has its own unique personality, and they are not known for getting along.
