Hydraggons are a race of aquatic reptilian qlippoth that swim in the River Styx.1

Appearance

The hydraggon has a sinuous, coiled body and a gaping, fanged mouth. Its tongue splits into three tentacles, each of which is capable of manipulation like a human hand. A hydraggon is 7 feet long and weighs 200 pounds.1

Abilities

Hydraggons have the ability to wield weapons with their multiple tongues, and their attacks can cloud the memories of their victims. Their immunity to mind-affecting effects shields them from the memory-draining properties of the River Styx, where most hydraggons make their home. A creature that succumbs to a hydraggon's horrific appearance becomes distracted by its slithering coils and undulating tongues.1

Ecology

Rarely seen on Golarion, hydraggons are most often found slithering through the deeper waters of the most remote reaches of the Styx. Due to their mastery of wielding multiple weapons, hydraggons are common on the Outer Rifts as a welcome addition to fiendish armies.2
