"Reptilianne Hydra":

This monster appears in the artwork of "Reptilianne Ramifications" (as a silhouette).

This card is based on the Hydra, a multi-headed serpentine monster from Greek mythology who was known for reproducing two heads if one head was cut off, until it was slain by the hero Heracles during the second of his Ten Labors.

This monster is an evolved form of "Reptilianne Lamia", as shown by their similar attires and helmets. The color of their scales are also the same and the transformation of this monster from "Lamia" is depicted in the artwork of "Reptilianne Ramifications".
- The TCG versions of those cards have switched names, where "Lamia" is named "Hydra", and "Hydra" is "Lamia" in the Japanese OCG. The name switches in the TCG is likely to accurately describe their appearance.
