This is true, just have to be careful not to play into NWO, and their "Great Reset" in the process. They have spun that scenario too. The hydra has many heads, just go after 1, and the others will flank you from behind.

The hydra's many heads are not eligible for the +2 flanking bonus because per the SRD you need another friendly creature in order to flank, not lotsa heads.
Still, a basic hydra still does 5 bites at +6 melee (1d10+3) with a full attack action so it's not terrible. Great to hit with an animate dead afterwards.
