Scylla, Scourge of the Seas is a minor antagonist of the indie/rouge-lite game Hades 2. She is the lead singer of the punk rock band Scylla and the Sirens who in turn are the region guardian of Oceanus, the second region when going to the underworld.

Scylla was a once beautiful Oceanid Nymph, but was transformed into a hideous monster by the witch Circe in a fit of jealous rage when Scylla won the love and affection of the sea-god Glauchus whom Circe was in love with.

Scylla has the appearance of a giant woman standing inside a giant clam with dozen of eyes. The clam is actually a part of her body, as is her outfit which appears to be a lavish coat made up of various tentacles similar to the ones growing out of her head in place of hair. She has long claw like fingers, razor sharp teeth, a star like crest on her chest and red eyes. She carries around an anachronistic microphone which she uses to amplify her voice throughout Oceanus.

According to Scylla her band traveled to the bottom of Oceanus to work on their next song in ideal conditions away from all their fans constantly harassing them. However, Scylla's fans tend to be male sailors who crash into the rocks of her island and are then drowned and devoured. For this reason, as soon as the games protagonist Melinoe enters her concert hall she and her bad will immediately begin their performance with the intent of also killing Melinoe.

During combat, Scylla and The Sirens will perform their new song "Coral Crown". The Drummer, Roxy will create sonic circles that spread from top to bottom in the arena or powerful AOEs that damage anyone who is or is not close to her. The Guitarist, Jetty will dash across the stage at high speeds, creating powerful shockwaves and shooting various projectiles at Melinoe. Scyllla herself is the lead singer, she is a large slow moving enemy who attacks either by smacking you with her microphone, creating four lasers that rotate around her, a homing musical note or a powerful screech attack that deals continuous damage at medium range. She is also impervious to damage from behind.

At half health one of the performers will become "The Featured Artist" empowering their moves.

Towards the end of the battle, Scylla will continuously vocalize, summoning pinheads to reinforce and protect her after Roxy and Jetty are killed. Killing Scylla will award the player with a large pearl which they can use for future spells.
