Swamp Hydra

A three-headed reptile lurking in deep swampland.

Three serpentine heads weave independently above the murky water, each capable of striking from a different angle. The hydra's scales are slick with algae and its wounds close almost as fast as they open. Hunters know to burn the stumps or the heads grow back.
