Special Abilities
Double Attacks: because the battle hydra has two heads, it gets two attacks per round at no penalty. A third attack causes a -1D penalty to all actions, a fourth causes a -2D penalty, etc. Jaws: Each head does STR+1D damage when attacking. Tail Stinger: The hooked tail of the battle hydra delivers a strong and lethal poison. A person stung by a battle hydra will take 3D damage a turn until dead. There is no known natural antidote, though some Jedi can neutralize it with a detoxify poison and detoxify another's poison powers. Senses: Because it is in the habit of looking two directions at once, the battle hydra adds +2D to its Perception roll when applicable.
