Imperial Hydra

"Most Hydra are found in lakes and swamps, ambushing prey from the water. But the Imperial Hydra of north africa and the middle east takes a different course. They too are ambush predators, and they retain the long necks and heavy bodies of their ancestors. But they have become fierce and powerful terrestrial predators, preying on anything from mongoose to antelope to unlucky travelers. And at an intimidating 27 feet, these titans are a force to be reckoned with."
