Ghost Lion Crag And the rain

"There are different theories as to that - but I think that maybe the beast started off with one head and then someone tried to chop it off, and simply more sprouted from the neck," Wraen was not sure, if the myth about Hercules stated directly, what had been the count of ugly muzzles, when he began his noble quest of freeing the world from the beast. 

"Whoever was the first - probably got eaten or ran off, when it was clear that there was no way of him beating the beast without additional knowledge," she could easily imagine her doing just the the thing. "Maybe the moral of the story is to think things thoroughly before jumping to actions," she mused.
