| The name or term "Hydra" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Hydra (disambiguation). |
- Hydra is a Predacon from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hydra (ハイドラー Haidorā) is what you'd call a "people Predacon". This guy just wants to socialize, to mingle, to hang, to chill, to please, please, please don't go; he's so lonely! Primus, he's so lonely...
Unfortunately for the extroverted Hydra, his commanding officers have stationed him on the distant planet Porcupine. In the middle of nowhere. All by himself. Alone. This isolation has left him with a case of cabin fever so frightfully advanced that his closest friend is the base's maid droid (whom he is very, very protective toward). When company does drop by, Hydra's enthusiasm can get a little creepy... A little really creepy. Visiting Predacons are often so unsettled by his awkward, desperate chumminess that they find themselves encouraged to leave as quickly as possible and never, ever come back.
Leaving Hydra alone. So very, very alone...
