Hydra Head: Your natural head becomes a Hydra Head, and you acquire one other head. Heads have a 1d8 bite attack. The necks are elongated, giving them a 5’ reach. At 12HD, all heads (including the natural) become akin to hydra heads, when severed a single new head will emerge from the stump of a removed head, 1d6+1 rounds later, unless burned. Unlike a normal hydra, only one head will sprout.

Hydra II gives another head, with one more each step after (for a total of six heads at Hydra V). (If your race naturally possesses more than one head, add five to the total.)

Magical Beast Affinity: You gain the indicated bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, and Perform checks made to interact with magical beasts.

Breath Weapon: Pick an elemental type; each head may deal 10d8 damage (of the elemental type), in a 30’ cone, once every 1d4 rounds. A successful Reflex save halves the damage. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 hydra’s original number of heads + hydra’s Con modifier.

If fire is the chosen elemental type, fire attacks will not prevent a stump from growing new heads, but 5 points of cold damage does.
