Classification: Multi-Headed Serpent Beast

Origin: Greece / Lernaean Marsh / Underworld

Known Witnesses: Entire Team (Berlin)

Hydra

The Hydra: a massive, multi-headed serpent, of ancient Greek origin, known for the power of regeneration; strike one head, and two more grow back in its place. The team was not aware of this fact.

This creature exhibited all the typical traits: armored scales, bone-spined necks, venomous breath, and an inhuman number of eyes on inhumanly many targets. Each head tracked with purpose. Independently. There was no central command to be influenced.

Aiyana attempted to calm, or distract it, but was only able to disorient. It was not possessed by Puck. Only freed.

The team attempted to contain the threat. But it was Airi who ended it. Her power went supernova, with all the color, light, and heat. The resulting blast vaporized the creature before it could regenerate.
