Description: The most common form of hydra are the infants that populate Yondallar Rainforest and the jungle region of the Dusky Mountains. These are relatively small creatures with only two heads but can be just as deadly as their evolved form. Fast but clumsy, they shelter in the trees building giant nests that may appear like small hillocks or mounds of dead leaves at first glance. Their trunk-like necks and tails give balance and also act as heavy weapons, dealing plenty of damage in a single blow that can send attackers sailing more than ten feet away and can break ribs.

Between two and five years of age, the infant hydra moves into the more open areas of the coast before evolving into their adult form. Doubling in size and growing eight more heads, the hydra's poison becomes more deadly and hundreds of tiny, jagged fangs drop from their jaws. They can be found in limestone caves along the coast or in shallow waters but rarely venture inland past the coastal bluffs.

Abilities: Hydra venom is poisonous and they can deal a lot of damage quickly.
