It's a Myth unit in a wonderful RTS game called Age of Mythology grin2.gif Its good against buildings(and human units obviously) and it grows a head for every few kills it gets.Very cool looking.Also you can't get it till the heroic age through Dionysus.And Hades can't get it at all.lol.

On a more serious note,it was a legendary multi-headed serpent-dragon thing that Hercules(also a unit in AoM happy.gif ) killed.Yep.

I dont ever think it was real but i the legends, it was pretty cool.

I believe it came from greek mythology and hurcules defeated it. It had a bunch of heads and for every one of them cut of three more grew back.

As cryptid? A few vague sightings of large multi headed lizards came from africa during the 1920's up to about the 1950's but no evidence was found.
