Notes

• Cleave deals default damage, and thus will not trigger spell effects.
• Cleave is not blocked by spell shield.
• Cleave does not trigger on persistent damage nor default damage, but will trigger on persistent area damage.
• Cleave works against structures.
• Cleave will not trigger if the basic attack does not deal damage (e.g. when the target is invulnerable or from Guinsoo's Rageblade's Phantom Hit), unlike Tiamat and Titanic Hydra.^(bug)

Trivia

• Searching for "no damage" in the shop will bring up Ravenous Hydra. While there were many speculated reasons for this, in actuality it is because of the "no" in "RaveNOus" and "Damage" in its listed stats (+65 attack damage); the item can just as easily be found searching "Raven Age" or "Dam us".
• Ravenous Hydra is based (probably) on Yggdra Union's Bandits weapon.
• This item is very similar to the DotA item Battle fury.
• Along with Titanic Hydra, Ravenous Hydra borrows its namesake from the Hydra, a many-headed beast.
  • They both also build from Tiamat, which shares its name with the five headed dragon goddess in the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG.
