A monster with six arms, six heads with four eyes each and at the lower part of her body, six hideous dogs with mouth containing three rows of razor sharp teeth.
With necks fully expanded, Scylla is 15 feet tall; the necks are 5 feet long each.
Hidden in a cave at the bottom of a cliff, Scylla usually let her heads rearing up out of the chasm, gapping dolphins or any human or animal that would venture in the surroundings.
Origin:
Scylla was formerly a beautiful maiden daughter of Phorcys and Crateis or Lamia and Triton. Glaucus who was madly in love with Scylla went to Circe, the enchantress and asked for a potion that would burn Scylla's heart.
Circe fell in love with him but Glaucus still wanted Scylla. Circe was so mad she made a poison to damage Scylla beauty and put the poison in Scylla's bathing spot.
When Scylla took a bath, she turned into a monster. In other versions of the legends, Poseidon fell in love with Scylla and a jealous Amphitrite asked Circe to punish her.
