Sometimes these larvae are dislodged into the hydra’s throat and hacked up in slimy, leathery cysts, which the hydra collects and places into swampy nests as if they were eggs until they burst open and release their maturing brood. If neck rootlets instead hatch and mature within the neck, however, the hatchlings actually tear the parent’s neck asunder, bursting out of the f laccid tissue like elongated tadpoles.
