Our Hydras Are Different	comment	Hydras are a type of giant, multi-headed reptilian monster, often possessing powerful regenerative abilities. Fictional hydras trace their roots to the Lernaean Hydra, which inhabited the Swamps of Lerna in Greek myth until slain by Heracles. Like many monsters with mythical origins, hydras are often A Kind of One — the original Hydra of Greek myth was a singular named monster, but the name is now typically used for entire species of multi-headed reptiles fashioned after the Greek Hydra. One of the most iconic characteristics of hydras is their ability to regrow severed heads; sometimes they will simply regrow a new head whenever an old one is cut off, but they can often grow multiple heads (traditionally two) for every one lost. As a result, most obvious ways of dealing with these beasts tend to be useless at best and actively counterproductive at worst, requiring would-be hydra slayers to get creative with their methods. Even when hydras can't grow back heads, they'll often have some form of Healing Factor. Like the original Greek beast, hydras are very often swamp-dwellers; so they can easily be the resident Swamp Monster in a Swamps Are Evil setting. As the original hydra was typically described as a many-headed water snake, modern hydras often display ophidian traits to greater or lesser degrees. They may be depicted as limbless, snake-like slitherers, but it's also very common in modern media for them to be four-legged creatures instead, generally resembling some sort of lizard or dinosaur with a writhing tangle of heads sprouting from their torsos. While not overwhelmingly common, it's not unheard of for a link to be made between hydras and dragons. Some works will treat the two creatures as distinct but similar or related species, while others have hydras as a specific sub-type of dragons. If a Breath Weapon is present, it's common to have each head possess a different breath weapon, similar to Tiamat from the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. Works which define hydras as a form of dragon are the likeliest to give them traits such as legs, stubby wings, horns or the like, in order to increase their physical resemblance to what dragons are usually shown as looking like. See also Hydra Problem, describing any case where harming an enemy in a straightforward way only makes it stronger, Reptiles Are Abhorrent and Multiple Head Case. Compare Orochi.

The creature's face is rather disturbingly humanoid and it drags its bulky body with its only two birdlike talons. The Hydra starts out with only one head, but three new ones grow in the place of each cranium lost. This happens after Hercules is initially swallowed whole by the Hydra, in which the hero slashes his way out of the monster's throat. Soon the Hydra has thirty heads. The multi-headed monster is eventually defeated when it pins Hercules to a cliffside and the hero uses his super strength to cause an avalanche on top of the monster.

The Water head has a more fish-like appearance and unleashes a swarm of Doomsharks. The Life head has leafy projections growing out of it and summons centipedes with orbs trailing behind it.

While it doesn't respawn heads, it has an interesting mechanic to let it counter the Disc-One Nuke summon rush strategy (where huge damage is done in one turn, but leaves the summoner vulnerable and greatly weakened for several turns) where every head is treated as a separate battle, meaning any extra damage done to one head is wasted.

Our Hydras Are Different / int_65e59655	comment	Dracopedia: Hydras are a family of dragons distinguished by possessing multiple heads per body. Typically, hydras are born with two and grow more as they age and become larger; they can regrow severed heads, but this takes them about a year and thus isn't very useful during combat. Their multiple heads allow the animal to remain constantly aware of its environment by taking turns sleeping, but their small size compared to the rest of the body mean that hydras are notoriously small-brained and unintelligent. They mostly live around bodies of water, such as swamps, rivers and the sea, and use their long necks to fish for prey. Most possess stout, dinosaur-like bodies, but others are snakelike and limbless. Notable species include the European bull hydra, considered the archetypal hydra in-universe; the salamander-like Japanese orochi; the three-headed, short-necked cerebrus [sic] hydra, often kept as a guard animal, which unlike other hydras never grows additional heads; the stout-bodied medusan hydra; the winged hydra; the Indiana hydra or naga; the snake-bodied Lernaean hydra, which ambushes prey by hanging from tree branches; and the marine hydra of Melanesia, which spends most of its life in the sea.

Our Hydras Are Different / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: Hydras resemble giant, multi-headed snakes, are about as bright as dolphins, and have varying numbers of heads topped with bony crests used in signaling and intimidation. Besides that, their appearance can vary greatly between individuals — any given hydra's features may resemble snakes, crocodiles or even dragons. They have a Healing Factor on top of their regenerating heads, and the energy needed to fuel both things makes them constantly hungry and ravenous predators. They prefer to inhabit swamps and other wetlands, but can be found in any environment with easy access to standing water. Their ability to regrow heads is also how hydras procreate. They constantly gestate embryonic heads at the bases of their necks, which quickly grow to adulthood if the neck they're growing in is severed. If they're not released this way, however, the gestating heads are either coughed up as slimy, egg-like cysts, which the parent hydra then incubates until swarms of snake-like larvae emerge, or just tear their way out of their neck, with the largest one grafting itself to the parent's body as a replacement head and the rest moving away as a swarm. Either way, hydras don't look after their young past hatching and the larvae set off on their own, with the strongest individuals eventually sprouting new heads and leaving their siblings to find territories of their own. Since hydras reproduce entirely asexually, other members of their species are only competitors to them, and hydras will typically fight when they meet. Numerous varieties exist in addition to the common, swamp-dwelling, acid-vomiting kind, including fire-breathing pyrohydras whose flaming attacks make them very effective at countering other hydras' regeneration; ice-breathing cryohydras; three-headed schism hydras capable of splitting in half like amoebas; warden hydras geared, like the Lernaean one, towards protecting holy sites; grave hydras infused with necromantic energy; and extremely powerful, quadrupedal, twelve-headed miasma hydras, which have caustic blood and can breathe clouds of toxic gas. Thessalhydras are not true hydras — they're typed as Aberrations rather than Magical Beasts, to begin with — but resemble monstrous and warped versions of their namesakes, being hulking, quadrupedal reptiles with stout tails ending in a giant crab pincer and necks topped with a gaping, jawless maw ringed with writhing snake necks capable of spewing intensely acidic spit. Pathfinder also has the gorynych — a three-headed dragon from Slavic folklore. All three heads breathe fire. Although they are considered dragon-type creatures, they are no friends of the "true" dragons, and frequently feud with Green and Black dragons for territory and treasure, while weaker dragons — like wyverns and drakes — they may bully into servitude. They also love to magically disguise themselves as human to mess pick up humanoid chicks.

Our Hydras Are Different / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Hydras are large, four-legged reptiles in all editions except the fourth, which depicts them as limbless, and can have anywhere from five to twelve heads, with two new ones growing in whenever one is lost. They inhabit swamps and other areas of stagnant water and are some of the most dangerous things living there short of black dragons, with whom they often compete when they coexist. While hydras aren't dragons, some scholars believe that they share a common ancestor — a minor scholarly tradition that believes dragons to descend from wyvern-like creatures rather than having been created by the gods holds that certain ancient skeletons of multi-headed reptiles are the remains of mutated proto-dragons who later evolved into modern hydras. Fifth Edition changes it to them having been created by the shed blood of a primordial dragon goddess named Lernaea who was slain by Tiamat at the beginning of time, before the age of elves, humans, or dwarves. Hydra body parts have a surprising number of uses: hydra tongues hung from a pole, for instance, will change color rather dramatically depending on the approaching weather, while hydra fat mixed with corn meal makes for extremely effective rat bait and powdered hydra bone is a potent desiccant. A couple of variants exist, including cryohydras, which can breathe out clouds of icy mist, and pyrohydras, which breathe fire instead. Gulguthydras are magical hybrids of hydras and otyughs, with six heads and a pair of tails tipped with grasping appendages; they're ravenous devourers of anything organic, from humans and halflings to trees. Dracohydras are a variant created by magically combining hydra blood with the magic of chromatic dragons; they resemble winged dragons with multiple heads belonging to several different chromatic breeds, alongside several snake-like tails, and are voracious predators due to each head demanding a feast of its own when hunting. Forgotten Realms: Nagahydras are a large variant of naga whose bodies fork into multiple necks and heads, each of a different color, which will grow back if severed unless the stump is seared with fire.

It lived in the swamps around the lake of Lerna until killed by Hercules and Iolaus, who prevented its regrowth by branding its wounds with a burning iron and burying its immortal head under a rock. The head is still alive and lies under that rock to this day, hating and dreaming.

In the first two games, the hydra is spawned from the Swamp building; the third game changes this to the Hydra Pond. The basic hydra in Heroes of Might and Magic V has only three heads, but can be upgraded to a six-headed deep hydra or foul hydra. They're thought to be bestial and primitive relatives of dragons and have been captured by the dark elves to serve as creatures of war. Foul hydras have dangerously caustic blood, seemingly from having fed upon large numbers of Giant Spiders.

Our Hydras Are Different / int_a825da3e	comment	Magic: The Gathering: Hydras are the iconic creatures of Green, the color of nature, instincts, and the wilderness, playing the same role for it that angels do for White and demons do for Black. Their heads can number anywhere from four or five to a full dozen. Most are quadrupedal, but some have only two limbs. Many have mechanics themed around increasing their strength when they're dealt damage, symbolizing new heads growing from the stumps of severed ones. The hydras native to Dominaria and Rath are Red- rather than Green-aligned, and live in mountains and volcanic badlands; as these were the first hydra cards printed in real life, this is an artifact from before the hydra creature type settled into its current identity. Occasional Red specimens still turn up in Dominaria in modern sets, such as Shivan Devastator, a winged, fire-breathing Dragon Hydra. Several hydras, such as those from Tarkir and those from Amonkhet, are snakelike to the point of explicitly having cobra hoods and heads, and are typed as both Snakes and Hydras. Due to the association with Green magic, Plant Hydras are relatively common. Ravnica is home to phytohydras, serpentine carnivorous plants that only grow back more and more energetically the more they're cut back. Briar Hydra is a tree-like beast with roots for feet and wooden necks and heads. Genesis Hydra appears as a normal hydra with wooden flesh and leafy manes. Rampant Rejuvenator is a living, branching vine with glowing pods for "heads". In the Theros block, the planeswalker Elspeth Tirel has to fight Polukranos, a hydra that is dubbed the World Eater with very little apparent hyperbole, which used to lair in the realm of the gods before literally falling to earth as a result of a battle between two deities. The fairytale plane of Eldraine is home to turtle hydras modeled after the Tarasque, Steelbane Hydra and Thunderous Snapper, which resemble giant, multi-headed turtles. They inhabit the Wilds outside of the main realms and are frequent foes of wandering knights. Unusual hydras include the Apex Devastator is a Chimera Hydra with the heads of five different creatures including a lion, a bird, and a goat, and the Whiptongue Hydra, which resembles a five-headed chameleon. Alara has Progenitus, the hydra avatar of the reunited plane. To reflect Alara's reborn state as a plane with all five colors of magic, Progenitus is also a five-colored creature.

Our Hydras Are Different / int_bcb32dc6	comment	Shadowrun: Hydras are large, seven- or nine-headed dragon relatives native to Greece. They're fairly indiscriminate omnivores with a diet ranging from aquatic vegetation to cattle and humans. Of note, the different heads don't have distinct wills — the craniums only contain sensory ganglia; the real brain is at the base of the spine. There's a more aquatic species, the hydra-wyrm, which possesses gills and seal-like flippers on its hind limbs; while normally native to lakes and estuaries, it has been developing greater salt tolerance and spreading into the Aegean proper. The hydra-wyrm was the default hydra in the 2nd edition Paranormal Animals of Europe sourcebook that introduced hydras to Shadowrun, but was retconned into being a distinct aquatic variant in later material.

Our Hydras Are Different / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: Hydras are immense, powerful and multi-headed monsters in the Dark Elf army roster. They're typically shown with five heads specifically, often topped by pointed, bony crests, and as having powerfully built, quadrupedal bodies, although models from the first few editions of the game show them as gigantic multi-headed snakes instead. They're seemingly entirely ageless, as no hydra has ever been recorded as dying of old age — all known hydras lived for centuries or millennia, never decreasing in strength or vigor, until being killed by something else. While only a few are left in the Old World, many still lurk in the Chaos Wastes and in the Dark Elven homeland of Naggaroth. Dark Elven war hydras are a distinct and especially fearsome breed, as their masters have spent millennia perfecting the already formidable beasts through magic and selective breeding. As a unit, their special rule Another Takes its Place allows them to randomly regenerate from damage at the start of each turn, representing a new head suddenly growing from a bloody stump. An article on White Dwarf #261 describes a couple of hydra variants further bred and magically modified by the Dark Elves: royal hydras are created from particularly successful war hydras through the dark magic of the dark elven king and have acidic blood and bony armor, while spellthirster hydras are highly resistant to magic at the cost of being physically weaker than the normal kind.

They are far more outwardly snakelike than in the source material, having fully adder-like heads, forked snake tongues, and rattlesnake tails. There's also a Regiment of Renown version in the form of the Chill of Sontar, a legendary frost-breathing hydra with ice-blue scales. The Warden and the Paunch DLC additionally gives Greenskin factions the ability to temporarily recruit hydras in Waaagh armies when in Norsca, the Chaos Wastes or Naggaroth. A Total War Saga: TROY: The Lernaean Hydra is a unique unit recruitable through a special quest. It's a massive, swamp-dwelling, nine-headed serpent with poisonous blood, toxic breath, and regeneration so potent that its last surviving head was able to regrow its entire body after being torn apart by Herakles.

They can attack multiple times per round and cannot be stunned or knocked out, thanks to their multiple heads, and if one is cut off two more grow from the stump and reach full size in a few rounds unless cauterized with flame. The body instantly dies if all heads are severed, and the heads die quickly if the main body is killed. The text also notes the original myth having one immortal, unkillable head, and leaves dealing with such a thing as an exercise for the players.
