Mother Hydra is a unique monster from the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] who appears in [[Hack'EM]] and [[SlashTHEM]], and is a [[deferred feature]] in [[SLASH'EM]].

==SLASH'EM==

Despite her status as a deferred feature, Mother Hydra is fully implemented in SLASH'EM, and can in fact be summoned in [[wizard mode]]. One could even (fleetingly) see her in a normal game by casting [[stone to flesh]] on a wished-for statue of her, producing a [[doppelganger]] that would briefly mimic her shape. In this regard, she is similar to [[Cthulhu]].

Compared to Cthulhu, Mother Hydra is in some ways more dangerous: her attacks will cut right through even the thickest of armor, dealing 100+ damage per turn to a character in a full [[ascension kit]]. On the other hand, she lacks Cthulhu's spellcasting and resurrection abilities, and in fact has no resistances other than cold or poison. A [[cockatrice]] corpse or egg will make short work of her.
