I like Hydra's name. Straight, simple, and to the point. Unlike some of the other demons, whom have quite obscure names. I wonder if it'll be the same Hydra whom Heracles fought in Greek Mythology?

Also, a lot of Greek Influence for the demons. The concept of the River Styx and its representative Goddess (perhaps humanity's perception of Madama Styx?) originates from Ancient Greek mythology, but spread to others. Phantasmaranae's name means 'Phantom Spider' in Ancient Greek, as well as her having plenty of children with her perhaps being a reference to Arachne, the Mother of Spiders. Hekatoncheir (Ancient Greek: Hundred-Handed Ones) is named after Ancient Greek entities who were sealed away by the Titans due to them fearing their power, before being freed by Zeus. Hydra is based off of the Hydra of Greek Mythology, and Diomedes was one of the soldiers in the Trojan Horse, which could be referenced by the sword-like horn on its forehead, as well as being a creepy demon unicorn.

I wonder if we'll have to fight Phantasmaranae's children in Inferno? Perhaps as regular enemies, or enemies that show up in her boss chapter? I could imagine the name. Likely 'Fear' or 'Phobia' or something.
