Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Three-Headed Hewdraw)[]

"An enormous three-headed flying dragon. Each of Hewdraw's heads has its own personality, causing them to constantly bicker and argue. Lucky for them, the heads can survive if ever separated from their body."

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Hewdraw Head)[]

"After being severed from their shared body, Hewdraw's heads are free to go their own ways. One is dumber than the others, and Palutena is able to lure it with her pheromones, giving Pit a chance to slay it once and for all."

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Hewdraw Reborn)[]

"Hewdraw's incredible regenerative ability allows its final head to regrow a new torso mere minutes after its decapitation. After resting by a lake to regain its strength, the beast later waits to take its revenge on Pit."
