Hydra

Hydras are giant three-headed dinosaurs. They resemble a mix between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the mythical beast, the Lernaean Hydra. They are some of the most fearsome beasts in all of Tyria because of their ability to inflict massive damage.

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 Shower. They are especially lethal to parties with henchmen as the henchmen tend to not move out of the range of AoE spells and as such are pummeled by the Hydras. Hydras have thicker skin than the average elementalist enemy.

Like all reptiles, Hydras are found in the warmer areas of Tyria, usually in areas far from cilization. They are found on the outskirts of Ascalon, in the barren Crystal Desert and the scorched Ring of Fire Islands.
