Reply to comment by 1GreenDude in [WP] Creature that hunts groups of humans, every person it kills will be forgotten by the rest, their actions attributed to another member of the group, but when there is only one person left, the changed memories make no sense, how can you help yourself gather wood? Why did you bring 5 backpacks? by Red580

I don't think a false hydra creates fake memories? Just deletes the person. So you just won't remember that you had a spouse. But with the prompt you would remember someone else marrying you.

Although that was probably a subconscious inspiration!

If a person's wife gets eaten by false Hydra they have to wonder how all of these women's clothes got into their room

With a false hydra you rationalise the discrepancies as far as mentally possible.

Yes, but this one specifically attributes their actions to you. Slightly different, and i think it makes it more interesting.

Yea

Also the one person left thing is unique since false hydra stories are usually one 'fogotten' party member the DM makes up.
