TIER 12

 

Once beautiful, the nymph Scylla was cursed to guard the Straits of Messina together with her sister, Charybdis, for being tempted by the whispers of Chaos. This powerful monster was luckier than her monstrous sister, however, for remnants of her once beautiful self can still be seen.

 

Scylla's upper body retained her nymph form, but without her arms. Her usual poise makes Scylla look like the figurehead of a ship, and that often tricks sailors into moving closer to her side of the Straits to avoid Charybdis, thinking that is a harmless piece from a long-sunken ship. Around her waist are six vicious dog heads, and below that are ten long tentacles.

 

Six of these are actually elongated necks, each equipped with a bizarre looking, but monstrous head. They resemble serpents, each with different unique features - one has rows of jagged teeth within its jaws; another has a sharp horn on its head that can easily spear its victims and another is highly venomous. These serpents are long enough to slither down the cliffs of the Straits, picking sailors out of their vessels, devouring them. Simultaneously, they would also wreck the vessels, destroying them within seconds. The remaining four tentacles are actually tails, for Scylla to fasten herself to rocks, or to move about with complete ease, be it on land or in the ocean.

 

Scylla has come to accept her imprisonment. She now works tirelessly to guard the Straits, preventing enemies of the Element of Water from entering. Like her sister, Scylla has had some offsprings since her curse began, and they have been sent out to do the bidding of the Water Lords. They are rarely seen, but records have always stated that Scyllas are the most powerful creature under the this flag. You would do to believe it...
