Tidal Blades
The two heads swung to look in his direction and began to rise out of the water as he approached. He veered to the left, hoping to put one of them behind the other, confusing their attack.

Hydras are common monsters in Naviri, although they are most often spotted in the farther regions of Trawl in the Howling Sea. Growing up to 10 feet (3 m) tall, they are believed to have evolved their multiple heads because of rapid mutations, similiar to how certain humans radically transformed into nag'i by handling dangerous shellers. While some hydras have three or even four heads, two-headed hydras appear to be the most focused and dangerous of them all. Hydras are known to be erratic, attacking for no apparent reason.
