Lady Scylla
Yet another ancient Greek-themed creature. Scylla is a multi-headed horror, with a central womanly body from which serpentine forms emanate.
Battling Scylla
Scylla's menace does nothing when you first enter her area—you see, it "merely" regrows two of of her six heads. She has a toughness of 5 for her body, and 4 for her heads, so the heads are comparatively easy to knock out—a single hit kills one!
However, each time you kill one of her heads, every hero takes 1 pestilence marker. This does nothing while you're fighting her, but when you leave, you'll pay the price. Basically it typically takes several rounds to get rid of the pestilence, during which the demon horde keeps advancing. You can't do a quick first aid-recruit-return cycle as is possible with some Demon Lords.
Each head inflicts 1d12 damage, and after her attack, she rolls 1d6—if the roll exceeds her current heads, she regrows one. She does give the hero a courage each time a head is killed. She has a lot of health—the same number as Jabootu, or 18 versus 4 players.
Rulings
The following entry is from the Planet Apocalypse rulebook's FAQ (page 54). It is reproduced here because it rules on Scylla's heads.
Q. If Tarang "kills" one of the Pulgasaur's stages, one of Geryon's bodies, or one of Scylla's heads, does his Silat ability let him kill another demon in the area?
A. No, since the Demon Lord is not really dead. He could do it if his attack actually killed the Demon Lord though. Of course, this would only matter if it wasn't the last Demon Lord on the map.
