MC Boosters! Update 1:Chimera, Hydra (and a Spell)

[Lasaro Ginjou]

This is my first Advanced Multiples Topic. Generally, I got some good feedback from my work in Casuals so I thought I would try my luck here.
So, the idea of this thread is simple. What if there were Booster Packs made after mythological monsters? I try to make monsters whose effects reflect their respective mythology. Also, they are meant to be usable with most decks.
The structure of this thread is simple. 1 spoiler window for each pack. under each card their will be a spoiler window with a written version of the card and a reflection on mythology.
You will see on the cards at the circulation section that I instead have the Artist Credit. I have already confirmed with a moderator that there is no problem with leaving it there.
Here we go!
[spoiler=Booster Pack 1: Mythical Creatures: Greek (MCGR)]Riddling Sphinx

[spoiler=Details]Written Version
[WIND/***/Winged Beast/Effect/ATK 0/DEF 0]
Cannot be destroyed by battle. Once per turn, target 1 opponent's monster and toss a coin. Your opponent must call it. If the opponent calls it wrong, destroy that monster. The opponent takes damage equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK. If the opponent calls it right, they gain 1000 Life Points; then, you can target 1 opponent's monster and perform a second coin toss. If the opponent calls it wrong repeat the previous effect. If the opponent calls it right, destroy this card. Your opponent gains 0 LP.
Effect and Mythology
1. Sphinx was an unbeatable physically monster = cannot be destroyed in battle
2. When encountered it asks a riddle = coin toss that the opponent calls
3. Those that are wrong die = 1 monster destroyed
4. Those that are correct are spared = 1000 points reward if called right
5. If answered correctly the sphinx asks another riddle = second coin toss if called right
6. If answered wrong they die = 1 monster destroyed
7. Those that keep calling it right cause the sphinx to self-destruct = if called right again the Sphinx is destroyed

Lernean Hydra

[spoiler=Details]Written Version
[WATER/***/Reptile/Effect/ATK 500/DEF 0]
This card cannot be destroyed by battle except by FIRE or Pyro-Type monsters. You take no battle damage, except when battling FIRE or Pyro-Type monsters. When this card battles an opponent's monster (except FIRE or Pyro-Type monsters) place 1 counter on this card. This card gains 200 ATK for each counter placed on it. If this card is destroyed by battle with a FIRE or Pyro-Type monster, remove 1 counter from this card: it is not destroyed. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)
Effect and Mythology
One might say that it is overpowering but this is mythology for you. The only weakness is any monster that has to do with fire. All others give it more heads, hence more ATK.
[/spoiler]
Hydra's Poison Arrow

[spoiler=Details]Written Version
[Spell/Equip]
Equip only to a Warrior, Beast-Warrior, Fairy or Fiend-Type monster and only if there is 1 "Lernean Hydra" in your Graveyard. The equipped monster gains 700 ATK. During battle involving the equipped monster, after damage calculation, inflict 700 damage to the opponent's LP. If there is 1 "Lernean Hydra" in your Graveyard, this card returns from the Graveyard to the owner's hand.
Effect and Mythology
What is a booster pack without Spells? A combo spell to go with Hydra based on Mythology. While hydra is dead we can always use more of its poison so we can use the spell card again. The poison works on the opponent him/herself with 700 LP damage.
