Coloring order
- Color the front of each of Hydrava's fanned-out necks in cream and the outer scales in teal, treating every head the same way.

- Finally, fill the dense scales on the body, the claws and the leaf shape at the tail tip on the left in three greens.

- If each head had a name, what names would suit them?
- Have you ever worked together with many people to get something done?
Take it further
Draw a different name and face for each head on paper cards, cut them out and tape them to long paper strips to build a many-necked Hydrava.

Printing and coloring tips
- Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
- Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
- Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
- Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
- The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
