Hydra

CR 4.00 Magical Beast N Huge

Multiple angry snake-like heads rise from the sleek, serpentine body of this terrifying monster.

Description

You can make more powerful hydras by increasing their Hit Dice—each added HD increases the hydra's statistics as appropriate, but also gives it one additional head and a +1 increase to its natural armor. A hydra's CR increases by +1 for each Hit Die it gains.
