Or Teeth. It is the teeth that are doing the grasping, after all. My opinion is that the combat report listing you as being 'Gripped by the Hydra's Teeth' is a tad more impactful than 'By The Hydra's Mouth' at least.

This is actually expected behavior -- if you check the raws, the body parts used by the attack are the teeth. I'll leave this open since the wording could still be improved.

So if teeth are used for biting can a wolf still attack with its teeth knocked out and do damage?

It probably can't bite you anymore, no.

I think the buggy aspects are handled by 0004503.
