Water-monster located in filthy drain (5)

I believe the answer is:

hydra

(Other definitions for hydra that I've seen before include "Mythic monster with nine heads" , "Persistent trouble" , "M any-headed monster fought by Hercules" , "Stars" , "Mythical many-headed snake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
