Editing Hydra (section)

==Warhammer 40k==
While there weren't any monsters similar to Hydras tamed by the [[Dark Eldar]] or any of the Tyranids creature with similar biology, but there were a lot of reference to it for the Imperials or just humans in general using the mythical beast as a name to many thing that can be compare to it, be it vehicle or enemies.

The [[Alpha Legion]] used the Hydra as a symbol and references to many thing like their legion symbol, their war cry and their fighting tactics. Each marine in the legion is a soldier capable of many roles even being a leader, strike from multiple directions at once, and which could keep going even with the loss of a head. It is unknown if [[Alpharius]] (or Omegon) actually encountered a real Hydra before, or at least read about them on some random book written by space traveling Terrans which led to him fascinate with the creatures. Either way, nobody will ever know what the fuck is up with Alpharius and his legion so fuck knows.

Tyranid has a [[Hive Fleet Hydra|Hive Fleet called "Hydra"]] living in the Southern part of the galaxy. They are quite small for a hive fleet and their battle tactics revolves around using massive swarms of small tyranid bioforms like Termagants, Hormagaunts and Gargoyles. The bigger synapse creatures (aka Swarm Lord or Hive Tyrant) command these bioform to attack and if the commanding Tyranids died in battle, it will sent some kind of psychic wave across all the small bioforms nearby to attack whoever killed their big dudes (which is like how a hydra lose its head but many take it's place, except the big dudes that died is replaced with a swarm of small Tyranids). [[starcraft|This allows them to take down even the big target with just a bunch of small bioforms]].

The [[Imperial Guard]] has these [[Hydra Flak Tank]] which is just Chimera with AA gun and they named like that just because AA gun has many barrels....
