Scylla

Scylla, also known as Cecaelia, are a demihumanoid race with the upper body of a humanoid and the lower body of an octopus. The Scylla are thought of as an aggressively solitary species that reside within underwater caves and ocean-borne cliff faces; however, some myths claim that the Scylla share a symbiotic partnership with the whirlpool-producing Charybdis. The race also have a somewhat-unfair reputation of being sea witches, possessing vast power over the ocean tides, weather and moon. In reality, there is no actual truth to these claims.

Physical Description

Scylla possess the upper bodies of humans, with the lower bodies and tentacles of octopi, though their skin pigmentation sometimes has a drastically wilder variety of colors compared to ordinary humans. Female Scylla are know for sometimes having two extra tentacles similar to the squid ones. Unlike other creatures, scylla eyes have fat horizontal pupils, not unlike actual octopus eyes. To keep itself from drying out on land, a scylla’s rubbery skin is covered in a layer of slime that is more viscous than that of their mermaid cousins.
