From Greek mythology
Greek: Λε�?ναία �?δ�?α
"An ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast that possessed numerous heads— the poets mention more heads than the vase-painters could paint— and poisonous breath (Hyginus, 30). The Hydra of Lerna was killed by Hercules as one of his Twelve Labours" (Wikipedia).
