Nine-headed monster in Greek mythology (5)

I believe the answer is:

hydra

(Other definitions for hydra that I've seen before include "Many-headed monster of Greek mythology" , "Water monster" , "Multi-headed monster killed by Hercules" , "Mythological monster with nine heads" , "Mythical nine-headed monster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
