Infernal Hydras are upgraded tier-VI units of the Dungeon faction. They can be recruited from Chthonic Home II.

They are upgraded versions of the Hydra, the other being the Chthonic Hydra.

Description

A scholar once claimed that hydras are made of the earth itself. True or not, some hydras emerge with scarlet scales and crystalline barbs adorning their bodies. Their bite delivers a venom that saps strength, leaving their prey helpless.
