Polukranos represents the ideal hydra, a beast of such size and strength that the gods Nylea and Heliod both used their power to bind the monsters deep within the Nessian Forest where it dwells, growing and devouring all who wander into its territory.Polukranos is a monster that emerges when the magic that holds the pillars of the world is shaken. It is a herald of terrible times when the fate of the poleis and civilization are in the balance.
