With that in mind I don't think that's hydra monologue on the picture, its more like faction's philosophy towards one another.
I dunno man I'm pretty sure the image of the hydra implies it's a quote of the hydra, just like in this image where the character of Gandalf is seen behind the famous quote he uttered to Harry

Seeing forward is very important to any large predator like the hydra while eyes to the side are especially unnecessary since they shouldn't have to watch out for predators themselves and is even weirder since the large amount of heads should do that anyway.
god, this annoys me way more than it should 
This is important as it allows for 3D vision. Placement of eyes like in human beings allows to determine the distance between a prey and a predator and hence to make a decision whether to attack or not. In case of Heroes 7's Hydras it is more or leass right, as it resembles position of eyes among snakes (a cobra's head for example) but the only problem is that their eyes aren't convex enough.
Speaking of colouring - black snakes do exist, there is even one with blue eyes (see here). Colours of this hydra are dark, which gives them advantage in lightless environment of caves. Dark blue vivid elements would make sense if Hydras had some ability connected to poison/venom, as vibrant colours very often mean in nature: "Don't touch me or you'll get poisoned." Most caves are dark but since in Ashanese caves there are many sources of (violet ) light, such marks can be spotted and will prove to be useful.
Everything would be sensible but the glowy eyes break it all. If someone would remove them or change their colour to black, I would be satisfied.  It seems that Ubilimb devs have high affinity to glowy eyes.

It's not just that; their eyes are blocked by the growth of their head shell.

Something like this?
PS. Regarding this video - nothing too spectacular, a girl.from Limbic seemed very stressed and didn't say anything too spectacular but we have confirmation that Treants are shooters. At least that's good.  Sadly, no acorn-spitting.

So... we got:
-disastrous skill pizza
-very unbalanced perks
-very little spells and too many magic schools
-boring and repetitive heroes specialties
-limited skill choices and copy-cat hero classes
-terrible townscreens
-restrictive town leveling and every building is dirt cheap
-everything is too zoomed out
-75% of the battlefield are only out-field decorations and units look like ants
-boring creature abilities
-a broken flanking system
-over(re)used models
-high requirements for not so outstanding graphics
-spiderpolis
-bugs (including spiders ^^)
-etc.
yeah, hydra looking like alien is the biggest flaw h7 got

Spiderpolis... despite my personal preferences, it would be good if it was unique in the whole faction. Meaning we would only have spider banners, not actual spiders nor spider tattoos.

But that does not change that they are not bugs as bugs are insects; therefore, spiders are not bugs.

They are crustaceans like most crabs.

Treants? Shooters? Of what? I don't even get why did they put those abilities if it is going to shoot. It does not make sense... at all.
I can understand by making Sylvan a shooter faction (even if we have Academy for that). Just that if they *had* to bring in a Champion as a shooter, they could've brought in sharpshooter (or arcane archer).
Even more OUTRAGING is the FACT that it was not written that treant will be a ranged unit. Hunter and druid, yes, but no word about treant. *spits*
And I don't want any sentences how "it was work in progress* or how *the creature may look different in the game* or somesuch. Treant was in all line-ups, but I can't make tails nor heads why would they be shooters with such melee abilities.
