Hailng from the dark, gaseous, and deadly swamps of Enark, Elray was the puniest of 4 sibling hydras. Having only three heads; in stark and shocking contrast to his brothers' nine, eleven, and one-hundred seventy-five thousand and thirteen, respectively; did little to hamper Elray's reputation as a real terror of the bogs. This was due mainly to the fact that his three heads spit fire, acid and guided missiles. His father, the great Lord Hckray, a hydra so enormous that each of his seven heads inhabits a different swamp, always suspected ELray was secretly conceived by a dragon, or perhaps an aircraft carrier. ELray's mother was unaivalable for comment.
