Fortunate Flora And Fauna
Contrary to what many assume, a devastation or lack of sea life isn't a sign of nearby scyllas. In fact, it's often a sign of the opposite. Once found, scyllas are significant deterrents to most sailors and seafarers who have heard even a rumor of their presence. This lack of intrusion allows sea life in these parts of the ocean to flourish. Reefs, fish, coral, and many other marine flora and fauna will seek out the locations of scyllas to establish their safe homes. The more biodiversity in a location, the more likely to find a scylla, or even larger groups of scyllas, within their depths.Shelyn's Corner
