Hydra (妖蛇, Yōja, lit. Supernatural Snake) is the main antagonist and a non-playable boss character in Warriors Orochi 3. Its appearance caused many deaths within the dimensional realm and it is depicted as an unstoppable beast. Characters throughout the game's script may alternatively refer to it as the "Giant Snake".

Role in Game[]

Orochi, the creator of the dimensional world, had a deep desire for ruin. When humanity killed Orochi, it triggered the world's will to seek ruin. Orochi's raw power manifested as Hydra, a giant of destruction. Initially blamed for humanity's incompetence, Susano'o initially refused to associate with them. Hydra's appearance in the dimensional world led to Kiyomori's resurrections and decimated humanity. The coalition for humanity builds forces to defeat Hydra, which transforms into eight Orochi figures and assumes a final Orochi X form.

Hydra's final defeat at New Koshi Castle and the time distortion caused by the coalition's countless time traveling causes the dimensional world's immediate and unavoidable destruction. Ultimate retcons this by having the story follow the good ending instead.

Fighting Style[]

The serpent beast, with eight heads, primarily uses fire breath, arcing fireballs, and Yashiori to defeat its heads, while Orochi clones maintain separate movesets.
