What cool little creatures. I especially like it because it reminds me of the story of Heracles fighting the Hydra, when he cut off one head, another (or in some versions many) would spring up in the same spot. I can see that they look like tiny versions of the mythological Hydra (probably part of how they got their name?), I wonder if they had an ancestor that was larger, not huge but big enough to be noticed and with the same regenerative power that could have started the myth.
