Hydras and Chaos Hydras are level 7 creatures of Fortress town. They are recruited from the Hydra Pond.

"Hydras and chaos hydras are multiheaded serpents attacking with vicious bites. When they attack, they attack all adjacent enemy troops. This attack is so overwhelming no counterstrike is possible." RoE manual

Hydras and Chaos Hydras, as well as all living Dragons, can be transformed into Bone Dragons at a Skeleton Transformer. Hydras need a more tactical approach, mostly because of their low speed. A preferred tactic is to use teleport or haste to move the Hydras in the middle of the enemy troops, and behind town walls with the first spell.

They are also considered to be among the worst level 7 units, especially if the hero doesn't know haste or teleport.
