Hydra
Hydra Solitary, Large
Bite (d10+3 Damage ) 16 HP 2 Armor
Close, Reach
Special Qualities: Many heads, Only killed by a blow to the heart
A bit like a Dragon, wingless though it may be. Heads, nine in number at birth, spring from a muscled trunk and weave a sinuous pattern in the air. A hydra is to be feared—a scaled terror of the marsh. The older ones, though, they have more heads, for every failed attempt to murder it just makes it stronger. Cut off a head and two more grow in its place. Only a strike, true and strong, to the heart can end a hydra’s life. Not time or tide or any other thing but this. Instinct: To grow
- Attack many enemies at once
- Regenerate a body part (especially a head)
