Stats[]
Battle[]
Their many heads allow them to get up to three hits per attack.
Strategy[]
Physical attacks are the best way of dealing with Hydras because they are not particularly vulnerable to the elements, and they have a low Defense stat. They appear in the rivers around the Overworld, making them a common sight if the player decides to go to the Mount Gulg, Cavern of Ice, or the Whisperwind Cove via the maze of waterways.

Etymology[]
Hydra was one of the spawn of Echidna, a many-headed serpentine monstrosity in Ancient Greek mythology. It could breathe poison, and indeed its very blood was deadly. The Hydra was killed as one of Heracles's Twelve Labors.
