The Hydra, fuming noxious gases from its many twisted necks has the body of a hound and the head of many serpents. It is a mythical creature living in water, but also represented by the largest constellation in the heavens. The Hydra is also a hybrid plant/animal creature whose extending tentacle network sweeps the water surface in search of prey. So similar is its anatomical structure, regenerative process and nerve toxins to the mythical creature that its discoverers naturally named the freshwater polyp after its beastly predecessor.
Could the figure of the Hydra play some part (large or small) in my Beast making?
