Cities of Sigmar – War Hydra

Greatest of all the abominations spawned by the experiments of the Order Serpentis are the monstrosities known as War Hydras, each one created through dark sorcery and perfectly tailored for the battlefield. Driven forward by the lashes of scarred handlers, these creatures are imprecise but devastating living weapons. They are horrifying to behold in battle as they rampage among the enemy ranks, their fanged jaws snapping out to devour unfortunate victims whole. A War Hydra’s reptilian maws are even capable of breathing gouts of flesh‑melting flame. Worse still for their intended prey, it is almost impossible to slay a Hydra. Their draconic blood boiling with strange, sorcerous power, the creatures regenerate wounds at a terrifying rate. Those fortunate enough to count the beastmasters of the Order Serpentis as allies speak of War Hydras regrowing entire severed heads from the bleeding stumps of their necks in battle. It is said that the only way to truly destroy a War Hydra is to burn every last scrap of its flesh and drop of its blood – otherwise it will simply reconstitute itself, hungrier and more ferocious than ever.
