'''The Hydra''' can be found in a unique, cracked-open [[Hydra Lair]] in a [[Swamp]] or [[Fire Swamp]]. The Hydra appears as a massive creature, with two stumpy legs supporting a wide, scaly body. Multiple serpentine necks end in heads that bear a passing resemblance to that of the [http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Ender_Dragon Ender Dragon]. The entire creature is covered in blue-green and dark blue scales. | |||

The Hydra has three main attacks. All of its attacks come with ample warning individually, but multiple heads will often attack at the same time, so players will have to react quickly. | ||

As the Hydra takes damage, some of its heads will die. Unfortunately, two heads quickly grow back to replace every one lost, to a maximum of seven heads. | |||

===Explosive Bombs=== | |||
Heads about to attack with bombs will raise up and emit smoke from their mouth. The Hydra spits three bombs at a time, which detonate immediately upon contact with another creature, or after a short time on the ground. The bombs are highly kinetic and will bounce if attacked. Reflecting bombs back at the Hydra is a good way to deal damage, especially if you can hit them into an open mouth. | |||
The bombs usually don't damage the surrounding terrain, but if the Hydra sees its target hiding behind a barrier, it can fire a bomb that blasts with the power of a TNT explosion. | |||
Bombs have a range of around 24 blocks from the Hydra. | |||

This is a great opportunity to use swords or other close range weapons to attack the Hydra's open mouth directly, but be sure to move before the head follows through with the lunging bite attack. The bite deals massive damage to anything unlucky enough to be hit. | ||

The Hydra drops several dozen [[Hydra Chop]]s, an overpowered, extremely nourishing and satiating food item that also gives regeneration powers for a short time. Also included are several doses of the Hydra's [[Fiery Blood]], which can be combined with Iron Ingots to make powerful weapons and armor. Finally there is a [[Hydra Trophy]] item, which is highly decorative and prestigious. | ||

If you are playing according to the [[progression]] system, the air in the fire swamp will be thick with flying cinders and ashes. You will be unable to enter the fire swamp without catching fire. Defeating the [[Minoshroom]] will allow you to enter the area safely. | |||
Defeating the hydra and obtaining some of its [[Fiery Blood]] will allow you to continue to the [[Dark Forest]]. The [[Hydra Trophy]] is needed inside the dark forest to unlock the [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]]. |
