-* Always be ready to reset slymdra encountersy: unlike nearly every other slime encountered in the Slime Pits, these are speed 10 monsters that frequently stop to absorb slime creatures, and you can gauge just how big they'll get with nearby slime creatures before they can start attacking at all. Using [[Translocations]] to dive to staircases or [[scroll of teleport|scrolls of teleport]] when there's a significant number of other slime creatures can prevent having to deal with their incredibly lethal melee.

 ** Try not to forget about any slymdras present when trying to stairdance the Slime:1 entrance or when going back up from Slime:5, as they can end up absolutely destroying a character still going up a staircase.
-* Nearly every character shouldn't hit them with non-flaming edged weapons- it takes exceptional damage to outpace the health and damage gained with each added head.

 ** Melee characters with high defenses and lacking a decent flaming edged weapon can consider swapping out for mediocre cross-trained edged weapons against slymdra with <6 heads, as this will rapidly lower the threat with each hit.
-* Characters with destructive spells, [[invocations]], or high [[Evocations]] can focus on using AOE or targeted effects to kill slime creatures before they merge with the main slymdra.

 * Weaker allies without a lot of additional assistance will frequently die fairly fast to slymdra bites, so they'll need some assistance. [[Zombie|Zombified]] and [[spectral thing|spectralized]] slymdra make for very powerful allies, however.

-'''Slymdras''' are jellies with the properties, similar to regular [[Hydra]]s, but with more powerful stats and [[acid]] attacks. Additionaly, they always spawn with a group of [[slime creature]]s which they can passively absorb,  gaining HP and growing additional heads in the process. Absorbed slime creatures will eventually split off, when Slymdra is out of combat.
+'''Slymdra''' are the highest-tier slimes found in [[the Slime Pits]], possessing the strongest base melee of any pre-extended monster with [[acid]] brand hits on top, and combine [[slime creature]] and [[hydra]] mechanics in distinct ways.
-Just like with normal Hydra, cutting off their heads is not recommended with slashing weapon without [[flaming]] brand. Heads gained that way may eventually split off as well, appearing as unrewarding slime creatures.
+They come by default with 3 to 5 heads, and band with three or four other slime creatures by default, but tend to come by themselves on Slime:5. They can get even more than nine heads without any player intervention if they find another slime creature band on the floor. Unlike hydras, they have tiles depicting up to eight heads:
 ==Tips & Tricks==
-* If Slymdra has grown too many additional heads, it might be worth it to disengage and try to fight off split slime creatures separately.
