Hydra

Hydra is a very high class of Demon.

Overview
While the Hydra seen in the series shows the capacity to change shape, the average appearance of the species seems to be that of a large snake-like creature with multiple branching heads.

Despite their power, they are capable of being subdued, sealed and presumably killed, although this was admittedly not the case with Hachirotaro Okami, to Yukio's surprise.

Powers and Abilities
It has incredible divine power and regenerative ability, even when sealed, and a range of transformation abilities. It can also take control of anyone in its sight.

Trivia
