Hydra
A five-headed serpent regrows any head torn from it unless the wound is burned or dissolved shut, punishing half-measures in a fight.
Hydras are multiheaded, foul-tempered serpentine beasts with voracious appetites, widely feared for their regeneration abilities.
In play
A hydra ordinarily has five heads, each with 15 Hit Points.
Head Regrowth A hydra ordinarily has five heads. A creature can attempt to sever one of the hydra's heads by specifically targeting it and dealing damage equal to the head's Hit Points. A head that is not completely severed returns to full Hit Points at the end of any creature's turn. A hydra can regrow a severed head using hydra regeneration. A creature can prevent this regrowth by dealing acid or fire damage to the stump, cauterizing it.
