The Hydra was gigantic 9 headed water serpent, that haunted the swamps of Lerna. Hercules was sent to destroy her as one of his twelve labors. For each of the heads he cut off two more took their place. He had to apply burning brands to the stumps of the decapitated heads preventing regeneration. A giant crab came to help the hydra. They both were defeated and put into the stars. We now know them as Cancer the crab, and the Hydra.
