In testing hydra form when it first was created, I found than on a typical-ish post-Lair human Tm, hydra form was capable of taking out any number of surrounding yaks/death yaks without danger. More surprisingly, you could kill up to 3-4 draconian zealots consistently even if they weren't clustered around you, but once you upped the number to 5-6 you got massacred. I also found that any number of klowns just destroy you. Basically, if you can deal enough damage to eat monsters it'll sustain you indefinitely, and if you can't, it's pretty bad for armoured species.
That was before the duration fix, of course. I still would hesitate to use it frequently just because it seems like it turns so heavily on managing to eat things before your health drops too far.
