Hydra [Monster] - 6d6 RPG

Hydra

A hydra is a massive water serpent with nine heads which quickly regrow if severed. The skin is made of rough scales with a fine slime over them and give hydras a distinctive aroma of rotting fish. They lurk in large sea caves and in deep waters eating whatever marine life they can, including humans. A preferred tactic is to use their size to capsize a boat and then devour the crew. If attacked by a group a hydra will keep most of them busy with a head each and will focus the remaining heads on a single victim.
