I personally prefer the pic on the card too....

Look again.
It looks like they gave Lockwood the card and said, "Redraw this."
However, it may be just coincidence. If you want to portray the scale of the thing, then you put somebody toe-to-toe with it. Sticking a shield in its face(s) seems like something one would need to do a lot.

I don't see it. I mean, besides one fighter vs. a hydra, I don't really see any similarities.
Though I did love that Rock Hydra card. I got one up to 100 heads once. Thinking about this just gave me an evil idea though. What if, instead of the hydra growing another head when a head was chopped off, the head grew another hydra?

Burn 3 fire mana to grow a new head ?
Hey, it's a nasty idea for a lernean hydra. Rather than fire preventing a head to grow back, it doubles the number of heads growing... Of course, one should not use that on a pyrohydra, since the PCs would not use fire on such a creature. Nor on a cryohydra, as that would be silly.

Wickett, I don't mean to insult you, as you do have a point that they are similar. However, let's look at the situation with hydras. First, it's a lizard with a whole whack (what is a "whack" anyway?) of heads and as such there are only so many ways to draw it. Also, the fact that Regdar is present in the pic with an '80's style punk-hydra is only because pictures look cooler as action scenes. Besides, it's fun to know that some character is about to get beat to heck and is still fighting. Heroic, stupid, are they synonyms?
