Descendants

Typhon was the father of most of the monsters in Greek Mythology, with the mother being Echidna, the great serpent witch. Some of its children include:

Hydra: The Hydra was a 9-headed serpentine dragon who lived in the Lerna swamp. It breathed poisonous gas and its central head breathed fire. This monster devoured sheep, terrorized the villages, and killed its people. The Hydra was the one of the most dangerous monsters in Greek Mythology; if one of its heads was cut off, two more would grow in it's place. The more wounds inflicted on it, the stronger it became. Hercules defeated it by burning the head stumps after he cut them off, thus preventing them from growing back. The Hydra's main head was immortal, so Hercules cut it off and buried it under a rock to keep it from harming anyone.


Colquidian Dragon: The Colquidian Dragon was the guardian of the golden fleece. This Dragon never had to sleep, so nobody could steal its treasure without it knowing. It could breath fire and had poison teeth. It was one of the five decedents of Typhon who didn't died. He was defeated by Jason.

All three heads breathed fire, and it's hide was too thick for any weapon to pierce it. Odysseus killed it when he stuck a lead-tipped spear down it's lion-mouth while riding Pegasus. The lead melted into the creature's mouth and poisoned it.
