  • Um, for those who don't know, this is actually a Greek mythological creature, also known as Scylla and mentioned in Homer's Odyssey and the story of Jason and the Argonauts.

  • I knew about the Greek myth first, but I still can't stop thinking of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night... >.>

    ...Which is better than thinking of how messed up this is. >.<

  • From Wikipedia:
    "Scylla was a grotesque sea monster, with six long necks equipped with grisly heads, each of which contained three rows of sharp teeth. Her body consisted of twelve tentacle-like legs and a cat's tail and with four to six dog-heads ringing her waist."

    Yeah, that doesn't exactly translate into "Naked chick with branching dog heads and paws for legs."

  • A little later in the same wiki article:

    "(...) As soon as the nymph entered the water, she was transformed into a frightful monster with twelve feet and six heads, each with three rows of teeth. Angry, growling wolf heads grew from her waist, and she tried to brush them off. She stood there in utter misery, unable to move, loathing and destroying everything that came into her reach, a peril to all sailors who passed near her. Whenever a ship passed, each of her heads would seize one of the crew."

    dunno, sounds a little more like this... but still... *shrugs*
