There was once a hydra who was purple with a bit of green who it adored eating figs. It collected figs and looked for figs frequently. When it could, it went on adventures to find figs to either eat as snacks or take it back to one of its caves for later. When it found fig trees, it ate all the ripe and juicy ones and left the green ones to grow more. It didn't mind eating dried figs either. In its opinion, all figs were delicious anyways.
One day, a group of cockroaches decided to raid the hydra's horde of figs while the hydra was hunting down food elsewhere. The cockroaches stole some of the figs and ate the others. As the cockroaches stole the figs, they accidently left a trail of fig juice behind.
Shortly after the cockroaches returned to their home with the drool-worthy figs, the hydra flew back to the now ravaged and empty cave with no figs. The hydra got super angry and was ready to kill.
"Who did this!?" the hydra roared out loud. "WHO STOLE ALL MY FIGS?!"
All four of the heads were angry and overturned all the rocks in the caves in hopes of finding the culprit who stole the figs. Finding nothing, the hydra then looked around the ground for clues and saw the trail of fig juice. It followed the fig juice angrily.
When the trail ended, the hydra saw that there were a bunch of figs in an abandoned hut alone with a couple of cockroaches. The hydra was extremely furious when it found out that cockroaches stole its figs. Those figs were the hydra's, not the cockroaches!
The hydra used its tail and arm to break and throw the pieces of the houses away from the figs. The cockroaches immediately were alarmed and tried to run away.
"You are not getting away AFTER STEALING MY FIGS!" the hydra yelled, using its tail to throw the cockroaches into the air and slammed them against the rubble.
The cockroaches, being the annoying pests they are, didn't die yet and attempted to escape again. Although, this time, the hydra spit out fire from its mouth at the cockroaches ruthlessly and brutally. It made sure that the cockroaches were dead by smashing them with its claws and hand too. It made sure that none of them left the scene alive by dismembering them....
By spitting out fire, the trees around the extremely broken hut accidentally caught fire and a wildfire started. Many animals ran from the fire and witnesses of the hydra's fury called it 'Figdra'. Warnings were said to each other by the other animals to not ever steal Figdra's figs or else it will come and destroy everything of yours. In the end, Figdra safely got back to its cave and went to get more delicious figs. It had a new, profound hate for cockroaches.
