Toy Vault Hydra

If you’ve ever needed a nine-headed water serpent this is it. Hydra — now available in harmless plush.

Hydra [hahy-druh] n. Classical mythology. A water serpent with nine heads killed by Hercules; a cool plush toy from Toy Vault.

The child of Echidna and Typhon, Hydra is the legendary water serpent with nine heads and deadly poisonous breath. When one of its heads was cut off, two would grow in its place. Strong-man Hercules conquered Hydra by cutting off eight heads, burning the stump of each neck, then cutting off the ninth immortal head and burying it deep underground.

This model has none of those exciting features, but is beautifully constructed by Toy Vault with fine detailing and fabrics.
