Behavior

[edit | edit source]

The Water Hydra moves incredibly fast towards the player and attempt to hit them. Once it reaches 50% Health, another Water Hydra spawns with 50% of its original Health. Both Water Hydras can drop items.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Since Water Hydras count as zombies, their Combat XP is enough to spawn a Tier V A sprite icon representing Revenant Horror in Hypixel SkyBlock Revenant Horror given that another Water Hydra spawns below 50% of their HP.
  • The name and ability of the Water Hydra are based on the Hydra in Greek mythology, which grows two additional heads each time one is severed.
