    But lets not forget that the World of Darkness dungeon was created with bosses from Greek mythology. So of course it would have a hydra, regardless of the lore reason that would have been filled in later.
    It was actually just created with the bosses, save Echidna, that appear in World of Darkness from FFIII. They upgraded Twinheaded Dragon to Five-Headed Dragon while making a Two Headed Dragon a trash monster (probably because we'd already fought a Hydra in the relic quest available at 50). They are Greek mythos references, but in FFXIV's case, it's more of wanting to reference the source Final Fantasy than anything else.

    Edit: That's also the actual reason there are Xande Clones, Kunoichi, Shinobi, and all those other trash monsters as well, hehe. Though I think the Atomos segment is unique.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
