Hydra



Hydras are reptile, three-headed creatures, walking on two legs like some dinosaurs, with a long tail.

Characteristics
Hydras are some of the most fearsome beasts in all of Tyria because of their ability to inflict massive spike AoE damage, and knockdowns.

All breeds of Hydras in the game are powerful fire elementalists. They can be found wielding some of the most devastating spells of fire such as Fireball, Phoenix and the dreaded Meteor and Meteor Shower. Hydras have thicker skin than the average elementalist enemy.
