The dracohydra is the result of arcane experimentation dedicated to recreating Tiamat’s power. Amalgamating the magic of chromatic dragons with the blood of a hydra resulted in a many-headed draconic monster with wings and multiple snakelike tails. The dracohydra’s breath weapon is a multicolored mass of energy that contains the essence of a chromatic dragon’s elemental power.
These gluttonous creatures’ appearance heralds disaster for any region they settle in, as they feed relentlessly—with each head demanding a feast of its own. If left alone, they hunt the local fauna almost to extinction, then move on to threatening the folk of nearby settlements.
A dracohydra can sometimes be found in the service of the spellcaster who created it, kept obedient by the rituals of their creation.

Multiple Heads. The dracohydra has five heads. While it has more than one head, the dracohydra has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious.
Whenever the dracohydra takes 30 or more damage in a single turn, one of its heads dies. If all its heads die, the dracohydra dies.
At the end of its turn, the dracohydra grows two heads for each of its heads that died since its last turn, unless it has taken radiant damage since its last turn. The dracohydra regains 10 hit points for each head regrown this way.
Reactive Heads. For each head the dracohydra has beyond one, it gets an extra reaction that can be used only for opportunity attacks.
Wakeful. While the dracohydra sleeps, at least one of its heads is awake.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10 + 5) damage of a type chosen by the dracohydra: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison.
Prismatic Breath (Recharge 4–6). The dracohydra’s heads exhale a single breath of multicolored energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 33 (6d10) damage of a type chosen by the dracohydra: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.
