Hydras are usually colored in shades of green with light undersides. Powerful legs support the stout, dragon-like body. The hydra's tail splits into three and each section ends in a nasty stinger.

The hydras used to be in total co-operation with their own heads, and each other. The dragons quickly changed all that soon after their arrival on EdenAgain. The dragons planted Mistrust and Envy in the minds of the hydras, which caused the hydras to begin their Never-Ending Gossip about each other, and anyone they met.

The hydra can be seen talking amongst its heads, always with biting comments about strangers, friends, or one of their own heads. If one head is away from the rest momentarily, it is a target of gossip, whether the head is watching where the body is going, drinking, or taking a rest. "I heard that!" is a common expression among hydras.

At times, some or all of the heads can get into arguments that lead to fights, and most hydras have heads and necks covered in scars. These reptiles are born with seven heads, and their age can be closely guessed, since a head withers and dies every few years from the abuse that it receives.

The Gossip Sin Enchantment is passed by the stinger in any of the hydra's three tails. A LightRaider's Kindness is attacked but his Peace is damaged by this sin enchantment.

SEVEN ABOMINATIONS WordRune
KI 10, DL 9
PROVERBS 26:20-25
"Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts. Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit. Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart."
PROVERBS 26:20-25
