The New Hydra has arrived on 1.20.1

The Hydra, also known as "The Dweller King", is a terrifying cave dweller originally created by Flamc04 and recreated by Azenski.

This is a faithful 1.20.1 Forge port of The Hydra: Reborn (1.19.2), bringing the full experience to modern Minecraft.

Stalk. Stare. Chase. Flee.

The Hydra is not just another mob — it watches you.

Stare Mode — If you look at it, it freezes. Look away and it moves.
Chase Mode — Once it picks its target, it hunts relentlessly through caves and corridors.
Flee Mode — Under certain conditions it retreats... but not for long.
Stroll Mode — Wanders the depths, waiting for its next victim.

If you hear distorted cave noises echoing around you... it's already nearby.
