Description

The sable hydra is a darker, more formidable foe than a standard hydra, having adapted to life in the shadows. It is a reptilian horror with a crocodilian body and multiple heads on long, serpentine necks. Although its heads can be severed, the sable hydra magically regrows them in short order.

Hardy Water Dwellers. Sable hydras are natural swimmers, dwelling in rivers, along lakeshores, in ocean shallows, in saltwater marshes, and in wetland bogs. A sable hydra rarely requires shelter from the elements, so it doesn’t normally have a lair.

When a sable hydra sleeps, at least one of its heads remains awake and alert, making the creature difficult to catch by surprise.
