The Geonosian hydras were huge carnivorous insectoid creatures with three heads, though some hydras could have more than three—which would not be considered a mutation. Hydras were amphibious and lived beneath the few seas on Geonosis, like the Ebon Sea.
Geonosian hydras preyed upon less defended Geonosian hives. They were sometimes used as the main event in Geonosian gladiatorial fights, where they would be pitted against a large number of armed gladiators.
A Geonosian hydra exoskeleton was displayed inside the Royal Icqui Aquaria, a large, public aquarium that was situated on the planet Coruscant.[1]
