HistoryEdit

Years ago, a young boy named Akira was killed on Route 87. Afterward, the Science Patrol was visited by a young boy declaring that the mythical dragon Hydra would be arriving soon. Just as the Science Patrol investigated strange lights around the tip of a mountain, they discovered that the boy whom was killed had created the Hydra as for a park. Soon the Hydra breaks out of the mountain, roaring the world and vowing to get revenge on the motorists that had killed Akira. The beast leads a path of destruction, attacking vehicles on the road.

The Science Patrol manage to fight back, deploying powerful laser weapons against the creature. A blast to its chest manages to rip it open, but this only enraged the winged monster. As it approached, Hayata transformed into Ultraman. The two forces clashed, but Hydra managed to dodge Ultraman’s Specium Ray! As Ultraman’s energy began to run low, the monster began to fly away. Watching on, Ultraman allowed it to escape as the spirit of Akira appeared on its back. The monster would never be seen again.

TriviaEdit

• Suit actor: Teruo Aragaki
• Hydra's name is taken from the Hydra of Greek Mythology. Hydra here however does not resemble Greece's interpretation of the Hydra at all.
• Hydra's suit would later be reused and modified into Gigass.
