Small Hydra suggestion

evil fluffy

I was think about how we could make the hydras better in the same way that aliens do. What I mean is connect gorge evolutions to his/her hydras.

my ideas up for discussion of course

-adrenaline = builds faster perhaps builds normal rate off infestation
-celerity = faster attack rate
-regeneration = hydras will heal after not taking damage for so long (like us)
-carapace = more armor slightly of course
-silent = no firing sound
-cloak = either cloak or perhaps slight ink cloud on hit and/or smartly used (knows to deploy if it senses marines within certain distance)

My main goal is to provide 2 things here a buff to hydras without going overboard and a variety based on what people want for their gorge as upgrades. This will also make you think a tad bit more on what you want for evolutions since hydras will be taken into account. Now if gorge the hydras loose all buffs/evolutions and when you re-evolve get whatever you pick that time. Also since some people will build up as gorge and perhaps go onos or fade or w/e same would apply there if you are not a gorge your evolutions will NOT effect the hydras.

Cloak will not really help, as the hydra's detect at a very long range and though walls. What they could do is fart ink if shot (just a tiny bit). If cara is used, it would have to be a VERY small buff, two gorges healing a hydra will last years...

For adrenaline, maybe it could be it builds faster?

I do like the idea however, different upgrades could also make the hydra's look different too.

I agree not sure if they can make them change looks with evolutions I know they want to or did for normal aliens so it is possible. I edited original ideas with your suggestions it would be neat if off infestation with adrenaline if it built normal rate when on infestation but when it is on infestation it builds faster
