Human Form:

In his human form, Kieran resembles a pale-skinned young man with white hair and yellow eyes that appear phosphorescent in the dark. He also has a slender build and reptilian features. These consist of slit pupils, patches of greenish-grey scales that have an iridescent shimmer in the sunlight, fangs and a forked tongue. As for attire, Kieran prefers to either be shirtless or wear loose, flowing clothes. He also has at least one snake with him at all times.

Hydra Form:

Hydra Form: Hydra from Dragon's Dogma, game artwork

In his true hydra form, Kieran is a gigantic, multiheaded serpent. He is well over a hundred feet in length with a heavy body that resembles an enormous python or boa. Kieran has dark-coloured scales and each of his heads has yellow eyes with vertical pupils, a forked tongue and a cavernous mouth with long fangs. The number of heads he has varies but he currently has four.

Personality Description: As one might expect from a hydra, Kieran is a rather unpleasant fellow. He is not a people person as he tends to view others, particularly humans, as food. That's not to say Kieran can't be around other people, though. He is just always on the lookout for his next meal, despite not needing to eat very often. Kieran also has a rather twisted sense of humour and takes pleasure in the suffering of others. Despite having mutliple heads, all of Kieran's personalities are similar to one another. His main head is the one that controls his human form, though.

Active Abilities:
Poison Gas/ Venom Spray: This ability depends on which form Kieran is in as to how it is used. In his hydra form, it is a dark cloud of toxic gas that has similar effects to carbon monoxide. It works best in places with no wind and is only fatal if the intended victim has prolonged exposure. A person affected by the gas may experience a dull headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision or a loss of consciousness. In human form, however, Kieran can spit venom from his fangs like some cobras can. He can spit a fair distance and is quite accurate. This venom is usually harmless on contact with the skin, but can cause some people to get blisters or go blind if it severely damages their eyes.

Heat Sense: Like pit vipers, pythons and boas, Kieran has the ability to detect body heat. He can do this at will and it allows him to hunt even when he can't see.

Human Form: Kieran can shift between his hydra form and human form at will.


Passive Abilities:
Enhanced Strength and Speed: Even in human form, Kieran has strength and speed that surpasses that of a normal human. He can outpace a cheetah and is strong enough to crush the average vehicle.

Enhanced Night Vision and Smell: Kieran has incredibly sharp night vision and sense of smell. However, that makes his eyes sensitive to bright light and he is unable to smell anything without flicking his forked tongue.

Regeneration: If one of Kieran's heads gets chopped off, two will grow in its place. He can also regrow body parts while in human form. This usually takes around five minutes.

Serpentine Consciousness: When in human form, Kieran's main head is in control of the body, while some, if not all, of the other heads manifest in the form of snakes.

Amphibious Creature: Kieran is able to switch between land and water without having issues with movement, breathing or external pressure.


Weaknesses:
Fire: Fire prevents Kieran's regeneration from working and can kill him if it hits a vital part of him.

Cold: Being a reptile, Kieran is cold-blooded. Cold temperatures can make him sluggish or even go into hibernation.

Carnivore: Kieran only gets nourishment from meat as he is carnivorous.


Common Magical Items: N/A

Biography:
  • Kieran was born in a swamp and, like normal snakes, had to fend for himself.
  • At first he kept to himself and protected his territory.
  • However, Kieran soon attracted the attention of the people who lived in the swamp, especially as he grew bigger.
  • This wasn't a problem until the people began to use him to guard their valuables.
  • Enraged, Kieran treated the swamp folk like an all-you-can-eat buffet and searched for a new place.
  • He soon found the island via a kelpie who had family there.


Resources: Gets the majority of his money from his snake charming, although he also lives somewhat on the margins. He shuns conventional living for the most part and has made his home in a grotto in a lake.

Additional Information: Kieran moves like a snake, even in human form. He also has sibilant speech with a hissing accent. Also prefers to use "us" and "we" over "I" and "me", often speaks in unison with his other heads, regardless of his current form.
