Charybdis was once the beautiful daughter of Poseidon and Gaea. She was once of her father's most ardent supporters in his never-ending feud with Zeus over territory, so whenever Poseidon would bring storms, she would charge the coast and gobble up huge amounts of land for her father. Eventually Zeus became upset with her and changed her into a monster.
