Critical Reception
The hydra was ranked tenth among the ten best mid-level monsters by the authors of Dungeons & Dragons For Dummies. The authors noted that, within the game, a hydra "rewards a special tactic", that is chopping off its heads, and having another character seal the stumps with fire to prevent its heads from regrowing.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“You took my heart in your hand
With a friendly smile,
With a critical eye you scanned,
Then set it down,
And said: It is still unripe,
Better wait awhile;”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
