Description
A hydra is an especially deadly monster, since every time a head is severed, two new ones grow in its place.
A hydra is not very intelligent, and therefore usually neutral in alignment. They usually live alone in swamps, and are generally the most dangerous predator in the area they inhabit.
In the Eberron campaign setting, the hydra is the heraldic beast of the dragonmarked House Phiarlan.
