Hydra King
From God of War Wiki
"Its the giant one, it keeps healing the others!" - Sailor
[edit] Greek Mythology
In true Greek Mythology, the hero Hercules was tasked to kill the Hydra as one of his labors. He succeeded by burning six of the seven heads, and since the main head was invincible, he had to bury it under a boulder.
[edit] In God of War
Kratos fights the Hydra King on the Aegean Sea. It's the dominant Hydra head; it sits in the center, and controls all the other heads; and also revives them according to one of the ships sailors. When Kratos arrives on the boat it was attacking, he witnesses it devouring the ship Captain along with the key he had. Kratos then fought the monster upon the top of the main mast of the ship. It attacks Kratos simply by delivering massive bites at him, and by knocking him back with a powerful roar. Eventually, Kratos weakens it, and runs the main mast repeatedly through the roof of its mouth and out of one of its eyes. With its death, the other, smaller heads died as well.
