Heroes 5 - Dungeon Creatures: Hydra - Hydras are another race of underground creatures tamed and enslaved by the Dark Elves. Their origins are unknown, although they seem to be related to the Dragons in spite of their very limited intelligence and lack of magic power. However, Hydras are incredibly strong, and their multiple heads can strike simultaneously at different opponents. Aside from Hit Points and great abilities, the Hydra is a below average level 5 creature statistically, as much as it pains me to say so. While speed is acceptable, considering its size, initiative, attack, defense and damage are all sub-par. Haste and Teleport are two spells you should hope turn up in the Mage Guild. It is also extraordinarily expensive, like most other Dungeon creatures.
