* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:The boss from the two {{Breather Level}}s rescues you at the end after your ship is damaged by the [[LoadBearingBoss collapse]] of Meropticon. In the best ending, he takes his child to visit a monument to you. His final words implied that he's mind-controlled by Hydorah and there's the fact that he could gave a heart-shaped bullet that gave the pilot extra life.]]

Xexex and Xexyz are two different games


''Hydorah'' is a freeware horizontal ShootEmUp by Creator/{{Locomalito}} that takes after classic arcade games, namely games like ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Xexyz}}'', ''VideoGame/RType'', and ''VideoGame/{{Darius}}''. Needless to say, it is [[NintendoHard somewhat difficult.]] Pick it up [[http://www.locomalito.com/juegos_hydorah.php here]] - you'll be glad you did.

* EldritchAbomination: Hydorah himself, who looks quite bizaare (somewhere between a humanoid without arms and a serpent), is quite large compared to a human, sports a bit of a VoiceOfTheLegion, is a god and lives at the center of a seeming WombLevel and uses some fairly bloody projectiles against the player.

Difficulty Spike is YMMV and there is not enough context.


* DifficultySpike: The second stage (Cyclades Liberation), and again later on with the Galactic Inferno.

Please don't post fan speculation. Use WMG for that.


** Though since Hydorah has "seeds" maybe it should be ''her'' throne.

Added DiffLines:

* EasyModeMockery: In ''Super Hydorah'', playing the game on the "Cadet" difficulty will grant you a 3-hit shield at the beginning of every level, but your score is halved and [[spoiler:you cannot obtain the True Hero Ending.]]
