Unlucky for its victims...
I made a 7 headed version so it's only logical that I make a 13 headed version to balance out the luck.

13 is bad luck..what where you thinking??

Ohmy

Love this!

lmao

THAT'S A LOTA DAMAGE!

I was replying to Max who said Hydras always looks like a brachiosaurus. Yes, remove the flippers and Scylla from the game looks much closer to what the Hydra should look like and Scylla should look like a mermaid with six dog heads growing out of her waist. Weird stuff. lol

I know that it originally does not have any legs, so in the first comment I called it "a serpent". I think in the original mythology, Hydra looks like Scylla LOL

According to the original myth, the hydra looked like neither a sauropod nor dragon, it looked like a multi-headed (usually 9-headed) snake. Later artistic depictions gave it sometimes legs and/or wings; it has 2 legs in Disney’s Hercules, it has 4 legs in the D&D and AoM, it has 2 legs and 2 wings in Pollaiuolo's Hercules and the Hydra and it has 4 legs and 2 wings in a portrait of Henri IV as Hercules.
Personally, I’m a purist when it comes to Greek mythology, so the best, most accurate depictions of the Hydra are from Greek black-figure pottery [en.wikipedia.org].

Except the hydra has always been depicted closer to a brachiosaurus, not a Dragon @Fawfaw

I don't understand what you're requesting, Fawfaw. I think the Hydra from the game looks a lot like that concept art with the biggest difference being the fish dorsal fins on the heads. I think Cannibalh has volunteered to make your request.

@Cannibalh Sorry but I didn't quite get what you're saying. What challenge are you meaning? LOL

Fawfaw, I accept your challenge

LOL I haven't seen the comment you've replied me yet and now I see you release this. Thank you. But how about a skin improvement?
I know that Hydra is a serpent, but in this game it already has legs, so it appearance should look like a dragon instead of a Brachiosaurus, because a dragon looks cooler and more mythology than a dinosaur. I think in the early 2000s they haven't had the ability to make so much textures so they just gave it the appearance of a Brachiosaurus LOL.
If you're gonna do a skin improvement for Hydra, then this is its concept art before the game had released (https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ageofempires/images/f/f8/Hydraconceptart.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161011223325) . But if you can make its appearance to look even better than the concept art, then just do it your way, I cannot wait to see it LOL.
And again, thank you a lot

Oh boy that is a dangerous hydra and looks cool
