 Scylla - Wikipedia
Scylla has the face and torso of a woman, but from her flanks grow six dog heads and her body below that sprouts twelve canine legs and a fish's tail.
She was one of the children of Phorcys and Ceto known as the Phorcydes.
She scorned her many suitors and chose to live among the Nereids instead, until one day Glaucus saw and fell in love with her.

The monstrous children of the sea-titans Phorcys and Ceto are called the Phorcydes, and this name has been given to the race of amphibious sea creatures that terrorize the shores of the Mediterranean.
Phorcydes appear to be a bizarre cross between a crab and an octopus.
They are intelligent creatures, capable of working together to attack ships and make raids on coastal settlements.

 Amphibious Gods - Crystalinks
Her body consisted of twelve canine legs and a fish's tail.
She was one of the children of Phorcys and either Hecate, Crataeis, Lamia or Ceto (where Scylla would also be known as one of the Phorcydes).
In Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus is given advice by Circe to sail closer to Scylla, for Charybdis could drown his whole ship.

 A Visit to Ceylon, by Ernst Haeckel, Chapter 12
But I was much startled when the flicketing light of a cocoa-nut-oil lamp fell on four witches' faces, each more wrinkled and hideous than the last.
If they had been but three, I could have mistaken them for the three Phorcydes, the witches of the classical Sabbat, and might have made myself agreeable to them after the fashion of Mephistopheles.
I could only beg them to return next day; I could not, indeed, promise the photographs, but I might satisfy their scientific thirst by a little lecture in my laboratory.

 Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising - Community
Despite breathtaking views of the sea and some spectacular wrecked ships half sunk in the water, there are no human inhabitants living on Solum Shore.
This is probably due to the fact that Phorcydes, Cetos, and plenty of undead Faliscan rebels call the shore home.
It’s safe to say that a moonlit stroll down this beach is particularly hazardous.
