Hydra

I hope you are looking forward to our weekly guessing game, as today I am back with another Creature from Hellas for you. As usual you can guess at the end of the description, whether or not the creature is part of Greek mythology. But don’t let us waste any more time and get started.

Today’s creature goes by the name of Hydra, a gigantic snake like water monster with reptilian traits. The creature’s appearance is also defined by its approximately nine heads, one of which is said to be immortal.

Concerning the Hydra’s traits, people claim that the creature has the ability to re-grow any decollated heads at an alarming rate, for each missing one, sprouting two in its place instead of one. As if that wasn’t enough, it is common believe that the Hydra’s venom is so poisonous, that alone the breath can bring death to any human being.

Now if you wonder, where you can come across this deadly creature, it is said it hides in an underwater cave, which is thought to be an entrance to the underworld.
