Hewdraw (三つ首竜ヒュードラー Mittsu Kubi Ryū Hyūdorā, "Three-Neck Dragon Hewdraw") is a large, three-headed serpent monster, debuting in the original Kid Icarus as a single-headed serpent.
In the original Japanese production, he was voiced by Masaya Takatsuka, while in the English dub, he was voiced by Danny Mann who also voiced Thanatos.
Biography[]
Kid Icarus[]
In the original Kid Icarus game, Pandora was the Gatekeeper to Overworld's Fortress, assigned to guard a part of the Three Sacred Treasures that Pit uses in his adventures to save Lady Palutena from Medusa. He appears a serpent jumping out of water and around the screen to attack Pit.
Kid Icarus: Uprising[]
Hewdraw appears once again as one of Medusa commanders, though was truly one of Hades' pawns in his plot to take over the world. This time, he has three heads, each one having a different personality, and can somehow fly.
He first appeared commander an army of Underworld monsters to invade Skyworld, Medusa sent them to get back at Palutena for the defeat of Dark Lord Gaol. Pit decided to go straight to Hewdraw, though was surprised that he was the commander. Once encountered, the three heads got into an argument but proceeded to fight Pit. Two heads get cut off while one perishes with the rest of the original body by either Pit or Palutena's laser. However, the two remaining heads were still alive and fell into a human town. Pit went after them, Palutena used her "Monster Pheromone" to attract the second head that got cut off. Once it was defeated, Palutena located the last head in the lake outside of town. The first head that got cut off managed to grow the body of a full sea serpent but was still defeated by Pit.
Afterwards, it was revealed that ever since Skyworld was attacked by Hewdraw, Palutena's army decided to create a defensive measure for it. It was in the form of Juggernauts, machines that feed on rocks and hurl them at foes. Unfortunately, by the time they are finished, the Chaos Kin took over Palutena, causing the Juggernauts to attack humanity for three years.
A clone of Hewdraw built from his memories reappears during Pit's siege on the Underworld Castle as one of three boss fights the angel has to go through in order to get to Medusa.
Hewdraw's fate after this is unknown, but considering how both leaders of the Underworld Army are out of commission, it's unlikely that Hewdraw would get revived afterwards.
Other Media[]
Super Smash Bros.[]
Hewdraw appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a primary shield type spirit. His spirit battle is against three Ridleys, each a different costume representing the three heads, on the Skyworld stage.
Appearance[]
Hewdraw is a purple serpentine dragon with three heads, each one of a different color. His eyes are yellow, he has a white underside, and he has sharp horns on each of his heads.
Personality[]
While the original Kid Icarus didn't offer Hewdraw much in personality, his reappearance in Kid Icarus: Uprising generally gives all three of his heads the desire to consume Pit, as well as all three seeing each other as brothers. Aside from this, all three heads display differing personality traits.
The left head is red, and is generally the most mature of the three, actually getting angry should Pit take down the other heads first. He also tries to deescalate his brothers' arguments, to no avail. He also seems to be the most hunger-focused of the already hungry trio.
The right head is blue, and while calm, openly detests his brothers, to the point where he expresses freedom should Pit defeat them first. He also seems to be vain, claiming that he's too pretty to die if he's fought as Hewdraw Reborn. He also seemingly knows French and likes to watch television in his spare time.
The middle head is purple, and is essentially a middle ground of the two heads. While he does seem to look down on the others and seems to think of himself as the best, he also genuinely compliments Pit's strength after his defeat. Due to his positioning, color, and his defeat line as Hewdraw Reborn, it's heavily implied that the purple head was the original Hewdraw from the first game.
