Kratos fights the first Hydra head below the ship's deck

"Kratos, before you reach Athens, there is a task you must complete. This beast, this Hydra, it has terrorized my seas for far too long." - Poseidon

Greek Mythology

In Greek myth, the Hydra was a serpentine monster that lived in a swamp beyond the city of Lerna. It was then killed by Hercules as his second labor.In some stories hydra had five seven or one hundred heads due to in myth when one was cut off 2 more would grow from the stump.

In God of War

In God of War, The Hydra is a massive sea serpent roughly the size of a small island. The Hydra King is the dominant hydra head, it controls the smaller serpents. The serpents the Hydra King controlles are less powerfull and much smaller. As the game's main narrative begins, Kratos has been assigned by Poseidon, god of the sea, to kill the beast, which has been challenging his sovereignty by destroying ships and killing sailors. It can be seen attacking Kratos' Fleet, in which Kratos is on. Kratos kills the beast after it eats the ships captain and takes the Key of the Captain, and then continues in his quest to Athens. The Hydra is the first boss in God of War and is very powerfull.

In God of War II

The Hydra does not make an actual appearance, but the unlockable Hydra Armor costume appears to have been made from the carcass of the one killed in the first game.
