The Hydrar of Ýdron are perhaps the most barbarous warriors of all the Khthones, renowned for their savagery and their spite, their vicious temperament and their sheer malevolence, matched in wonder only by the breathtaking skills they employ and the debilitating poison within their bodies and upon their blades. They - more than any other host pledged to Ophios - delight in murder and wickedness, of killing for killing's sake, and many choose to view them as a hindrance rather than an ally in retribution. Even so, it cannot be denied that the Hydra and the Skylla and the Ydris and indeed the quicksilver Hydrar themselves add particular, even necessary qualities to the vengeance sought in the name of Khthon.
