== Fanstratics Troop: Hydra ==
If there is a true agent of chaos on the Battlefield, it is the Boggish Hydra.  Surprisingly fast, despite its absence of legs, the Hydra thrives when surrounded.  Possessing five individual heads, this beast can engage multiple Enemies when attacking and defending.  Adding to this overwhelming Assault, is the Hydra's natural ability to Poison its targets, lowering their total Health for a few rounds.  Few top-tier Troops can occupy and decimate an army's lower rank like this slithering savage.

Because the Hydra is well-known mythological creature, numerous artists have explored almost every conceptual and visual avenue.  So, when rendering this Troop, there was little to do... other than doing it well.  Between Justin and I, the process was smooth, and went something like the following.

 Me, “Hey, Justin.  I need a Hydra.  Five snake heads.  No legs.  Rattle tail.” 
 
 Justin, “Okay.”
 
 Four thumbnails later... me, “I like the extra tails.  Green light.” 

Fun stuff.  :-)
