Hydrus

By Crusader1307

 From Medieval Bestiaries, is the creature called The Hydrus. Said to be an enormous dragon-like beast, The Hydrus was said to live in Egypt. It had 5 heads and fed exclusively off of Crocodiles. However (as it was said), the Hydrus had a weak stomach and his meal could easily burst forth. The legend was incorporated in Ancient Christian mythos as an allegory for Christ bursting free from Hell (on the third day of his death) and subsequent resurrection.
