The ground is littered with bones, behind the monsters you can see what would appear to be ruins in the distance, and behind the hunters you can see large skeletons, glowing with light blue specks. This tells us many things; it's very old, it's capable of killing other monster of considerable size and it collects bones. Most of the bones around the arena would appear to belong to monsters, as there's a distinct lack of human presence to this area, aside from the ruins in the far background. This also tells us that this thing is indeed, very old.

Now to examine the monster itself. The main body is large, not super large- but still particularly well rounded on the "big" scale from what we can see. The "heads" we can see move at a rather fast-pace speed. They're limp, and move in an unordinary manner. It should be noted, the motions it makes itself would be too much for a neck to handle and these should be considered dead by most means. When these limbs move they make a distinct rattling noise, which also means most of what we see moving is bone.

From the main body that is apparent, it has a large sphincter-like organ with a blue substance coated around it. On that note, the main body that we can see moves very organically- we can get a rhythm of breathe, we can get a sense that there is indeed a living being underneath the bones. Underneath, aside from the sphincter-like organ, all we can see is particularly too dark to make out. Either its skin is dark or that it's just too dark to see. We can also see these light blue spots that give off a certain glow- the same as the ones we see around the arena. Just before we fade to dark we can also notice a certain detail- that is, the heads protrude from the ground and not the main body.

This brings me to 4 possibilities.

1. The monster is as it appears, a very bony hydra-like monster that can burrow its many heads through the stage.

2. The monster is several different entities. A core monster, and many of the serpent like heads we see that surround it.

3. The monster is capable of necromancy of some manner, using the bones around the stage to create different kinds of creatures and forms to defend itself, using the blue substance as a synthetic to link nerves and bones.

4. The monster is a parasitic entity that is able to latch its tendons onto bones and create many different forms as it gradually grows, while plastering the blue substance (yet again used as synthetic nerves) to the many bones around the arena for potential use later- but also as a way of detecting intruders. Really interesting concepts. I´m pretty sure that,as other people already said, the two heads that we can see are not real heads.
