## Notes

* The splash damage heal does not benefit from File:Heal power.png Heal power.
* **Ravenous Hydra** can only be purchased by  melee champions and shapeshifter champions with a melee form, its passive and active cannot be used when performing  ranged basic attacks.
* **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** increases both the  life steal granted by the item as well as the effectiveness of the unnamed passive on the item.
	+ Factoring only the item and **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, you will have 23.4%  life steal (18 × 1.3) that is 65% effective on the splash damage (50 × 1.3).
* The unnamed passive will stack additively if multiple **Ravenous Hydra** are purchased. Two items will cause life steal to be 100% effective on the splash damage; three will be 150% effective; and so on.

	+ The active will cast from wherever the user is at the end of the cast time.
* Cleave will not trigger if it has triggered on a *different* target in the last 0.05 seconds. This affects abilities such as **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** in her **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**. There is no cooldown on triggering the effect on a single target, such as **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** or **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** in her human form.

## Trivia

* Searching for "no damage" in the shop will bring up Ravenous Hydra. While there were many speculated reasons for this, in actuality it is because of the "no" in "RaveNOus" and "Damage" in its listed stats (+80 attack damage); the item can just as easily be found searching "Raven Age" or "Dam us".
* Ravenous Hydra is based (probably) on Yggdra Union's Bandits weapon.
* This item is very similar to the DotA item Battle fury.
* Along with **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, Ravenous Hydra borrows its namesake from the Hydra, a many-headed beast.
	+ They both also build from **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, which shares its name with the five headed dragon goddess in the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG.
