This huge, serpentine, creature has four angry fiery snake-like heads that rise from its sleek body. With varying hues of red and stripes of black, this creature has fins atop its many heads that would speak of it being aquatic, if not for the colouration reminding you of lava.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fast Healing (Ex)
A pyrohydra’s fast healing ability is double to its current number of heads. A pyrohydra loses all fast healing when it is reduced to a single head.
Hydra Traits (Ex)
Any critical hit has a 75% chance to sever a head. You cannot sever the last head but pyrohydra loses its fast healing if they only have one head remaining. A pyrohydra can’t attack with a severed head, but takes no other penalties. A pyrohydra also loses one of its breath weapons per head lost.
Pyric Bulwark (Su)
Once per day as an immediate action, a pyrohydra can become immune to magical damage for one round, must have at least two heads to use this ability and those two heads must channel this effect until the end of the round, while channeling, each other head may be used to perform an attack or a breath weapon.
Pounce (Ex)
When a pyrohydra makes a charge, it can make a full attack.
