Hewdraw is a large dragon and major boss of the Kid Icarus and Kid Icarus Uprising.

Appearance[]

Hewdraw originally resembled a serpent. However, in Uprising, he appears as a purple three-headed serpent-like dragon that flies through the sky. Each of the heads has a mind of it's own, and rarely get along.

History[]

Hewdraw first was one of the gatekeepers that kept the Goddess Palutena imprisoned, and was slain by the angel Pit.

Hewdraw was resurrected many years later by Hades as a three-headed beast, and sent to spearhead an attack on Skyworld. Pit severed two heads before destroying the third along with the body, but the two severed heads survived and attacked a human city on the ground with surviving underworld monsters. Palutena is able to lure out one head to the courtyard, where he is destroyed by Pit, but the other makes it to the lake and regenerates his serpent body, where he is also slain by Pit.

A copy of Hewdraw's last form later appeared as one of the tests needed to progress through the Underworld Castle.

Personality[]

Each of Hewdraws head is slightly different, with one being somewhat vain and another having respect for his opponents, though all seem to be hot-headed and easily distracted.

Abilities[]

At full power, Hewdraw has a number of abilities, including fireballs, fire blasts, energy waves, massive laser beams, and biting attacks. In his reborn form, Hewdraw cannot fly and stays in water to move. It produces hovering fireballs, regular fire blasts, homing lasers, bubble-like water bombs, and scaly missiles.

Spoils[]

Although defeating Hewdraw's forms does not specifically reward you with any items, after his defeat, a weapon called the Hewdraw Club can be bought or made. The club features a long blade similar to Hewdraw's horn, and does high melee damage as well as being able to replicate Hewdraw's energy wave and fireball attacks.
