A type of monster girl resembling a sea octopus, most commonly taking the form in Japanese works of a human upper torso and tentacles for legs.
Named after a Greek mythological monster that has had many varying descriptions over the centuries. One later mythological version of the scylla was more or less a mermaid whose serpentine-like lower half was surrounded by snapping dog heads. For that character, use scylla (mythology) instead.
Other names associated with octopus girls are Cecaelia and Dagon.
