The Hydra's swiftness blood ability

[Sorontar]

In the wiki, the Hydra has "swiftness" as a blood ability (twice, as Major and Great!). However the 3e/3.5e BRCS does not have such a blood ability. Is this missing or is the Hydra's wiki page wrong?

Swiftness does not appear in the original documentation, nor in the 5e rules that I've seen.

The entry in Blood enemies has Detect life (Major), Fear (Major), Invulnerability (Great), Long Life (Great), & Unreadable thoughts (Minor).

I think the reason that the ability is listed twice is that the Hydra is showing the options for a 10HD or 15HD version - the original was equivalent of 17HD.

I see. That explains most of the / used throughout the stats. I still can't understand the "swiftness". According to the page's history log, it was me who added most of the page, but I suspect I just copied it from a previous version of the page (like one that ended up on the forum instead of the wiki when hardware or software was updated). It is not the sort of page I would create myself, just one I would tidy up.

I gather there is no version of D&D that uses swiftness as the name of a feat or skill (or equivalent), and there doesn't seem to be any reference anywhere to it being a blood ability, so I wonder where it came from.
