Like seriously imagine how jacked you'd have to be to carry a hydra or explo around all day. Imagine the flexibility of stamina needed to roll around with dualies non stop. Imagine the cramps you'd get from swinging brushes around. These are TEENAGE squids why are they this strong

This isn't even mentioning other things like getting bolted in the face by a frying pan, zooka'ed from 2mm away, falling from the top of flounder, having your eyesight be damaged temporarily. Like I dunno about you guys but if I had to play zones with pencil irl I would be pissing myself right there in the middle of the match with the amount of soda I'd be drinking

so, canonically, getting shot actually does mildly hurt the player! it’s about the same as getting hit by a paintball but seeing how much you get hit in the game… it must suck.

I think canonly they have super strength? I remember a sunken scroll saying they have the ability to jump up to 10 feet without superjumping.

I mean given that they can just become a giant invincible kraken at will (specials can technically be used infinitely, it's just that there's a built-in limiter)

but when they respawn does the pain go away? Like if you just got obliterated by a hydra, would you still be sore after you respawn? Or would you feel refreshed because you just came out of a coffee machine?

when my brother was 14-15 he was in the marching band and had to carry this heavy asf drum on him at all times which I’m guessing is probably somewhere around the weight of a Hydra

Canonically they only play 2-3 battles per day

Also compared to us, they're superhuman
