- "Your aqua droids are no match for the Mon Calamari. What makes you think these secret weapons you brought from your homeworld will fare any better?"
"They are half machine, half monster. We call them Hydroid Medusa. They are invincible." - ―Nossor Ri and Riff Tamson on Hydroid Medusas
Hydroid Medusas were massive jellyfish cyborgs combined with armor and other cybernetic enhancements developed by the Karkarodons on their homeworld Karkaris. Hydroid Medusas were used by Karkarodon Confederacy of Independent Systems Commander Riff Tamson during the Battle of Mon Cala. They were practically invulnerable, with blasters and lightsabers doing no damage to them. After causing numerous casualties, the Republic and Mon Calamari forces were forced to retreat.[1] When Republic reinforcements arrived in the form of the Gungan Grand Army, their boomas were able to do some damage to the Hydroid Medusas.[3]
