Hydraja is a [[Water]] and [[Earth]]-type [[Creo]] that makes its home in the network of coral reefs lining the ocean floor.

Hydraja are strongly solitary by nature, and they settle disputes by display rather than by injury whenever they can.

== Biology ==
Hydraja has a long, sinuous, serpentine body, hooked beak-like jaws filled with rows of sharp teeth, and red eyes that instill fear in its prey. Crimson wing-shaped flaps sit on either side of its head.

Hydraja can expand and contract around its spine, allowing it to adjust the diameter of its body based on the space it needs to squeeze into. This is a handy trick in the coral reefs that it calls home, especially when hunting.

Hydraja worms its way into the crevices of coral edifices, and it can also use its hooked beak to excavate tunnels in the sea floor. There, it lies in wait for a meal to flit past.

Each Hydraja claims a hunting range that includes both reef structures and sections of soft sea floor. These territories are maintained not through constant conflict, but through intimidation displays. When two Hydraja encounter one another, they lash their tails, expand their bodies to appear thicker and longer, and rake their beaks against coral or stone to produce deep, grinding vibrations that carry through the water. They also use the crimson wing-shaped flaps on either side of their heads to flash warnings.

Most encounters end without physical contact, but direct combat between Hydraja does occur. Rather than use their jaws to tear each other apart, they attempt to pin or constrict by squeezing with their tails and bodies, cutting off blood and oxygen supply to the brain. Fatal encounters are uncommon, as Hydraja instinctively retreat once a dominance hierarchy is established.
