Template:Sideicon Syldra, also known as Hydra, is a character and summon from Final Fantasy V. She is Faris Scherwiz's pet sea dragon and childhood friend, and though Syldra is a sea dragon and cannot talk, Faris always knows how she is feeling.
Her signature attack is a wind-elemental Thunderstorm, which she shares with some lightning-elemental summoned monsters.
In the Anthology release, she is incorrectly referred to as male.
Profile
Appearance
Syldra is a large lavender sea dragon with a long neck and a tail. Her body is mottled in red spots and her limbs are fins. She has small fins on the back of her neck and on her back. Only her face appears in the field, poking out from the water, but in her summon scenes her entire body can be seen. She has golden eyes.
Personality
Syldra is a caring sea dragon who saved and befriended a young Faris when she fell overboard a ship. At the absence of wind, she helps Faris and the pirates move the pirate ship. She feels a strong bond with Faris and always does her best to look out for her, even risking her own life to save Faris's.
Story
When a young Faris fell overboard, Syldra saved her and became friends with the beast. When she became captain of the pirates who took her in, she used Syldra to help them out. Syldra pulls the pirate ship through the water, which makes it one of the two known ships on Planet R that doesn't need wind to move.
Syldra helps the party cross the seas of Tycoon to reach the Wind Shrine. While crossing the Torna Canal the ship is attacked by Karlabos. Though the Karlabos is defeated, it drags Syldra inside a whirlpool, separating her from the party and letting the ship run adrift is the waning currents of the open sea. The ship stalls in the Ship Graveyard shortly thereafter.
Later, Syldra sacrifices herself to save the party from the sinking Walse Tower, and Faris breaks down. Upon visiting the Pirates' Hideout in the Merged World Faris sees Syldra's spirit in the cove. Bartz and Lenna do not see anything, but Krile, who can understand Syldra, tells Faris that even in death, Syldra wants to help. These words comfort Faris, and the party is given Syldra to summon.
Gameplay
Syldra is obtained as a summon by visiting the Pirates' Hideout in the Merged World. She is a level 4 summon and deals an attack called Thunderstorm for 32 MP, which does Wind-elemental damage to all enemies. When boosted with the Air Knife or Magus Rod, Syldra can deal almost as much damage as Bahamut, for half the MP cost.
In the mobile and Steam versions, the player earns the "Say Hello, Syldra!" achievement after obtaining the pirate ship.

Etymology
Hydra was one of the spawn of Echidna, a many-headed serpentine monstrosity in Ancient Greek mythology. It could breathe poison, and indeed its very blood was deadly. The Hydra was killed as one of Heracles's Twelve Labors.
The
