Hydra (Water Creature) Greek A many-headed serpent, the offspring of Echidna and Typhon. When one head was chopped off, another grew in its place. The second labor of Heracles was to kill the dreaded serpent. Hydra's blood was venomous. Arrows or garments dipped in it killed Chiron, the centaur; Nessus; and Philoctetes.
