What does a hydra look like?

The Hydra The Hydra was a water serpent with nine heads and very poisonous acidic breath. One Head was Immortal. For Hercules' second Labor, he had to kill this beast. Unfortunately, every time he cut off one of the Hydra's heads, two more grew in its place. Hercules overcame this by dipping his sword in the venom of one of the severed heads so that every time he cut a head off, none could grow back. Hera (who hated Hercules) was mad at this so she sent a giant crab to help the Hydra. Hercules crushed it underneath one of his large feet. Finally he cut the immortal head off and (because it was still alive) put it under a rock on the sacred way from Lerna to Elaius. Hera put the crab in the sky as the constellation Cancer so it wouldn't be forgotten.
