Her Evilness in The Evil Mirror (2D)

Scylla is extremely cruel and power-hungry, and especially obsessed with magically preserving her beauty and youth forever, even as she really is extremely (hundreds of years) old. This usually involves kidnapping Hugo's wife Hugolina and usually also their kids and then trying to stop him. She has terrible magic powers and various minions (notably the man-crocodile Don Croco who is one-sided love with her while she abuses him constantly), and usually lives in either her lair near the Troll Forest or in her various castles, including Don Croco's pirate fortress in the volcano Jungle Island. In later games, her goals, besides general mischief and wanton evil (such as trying to sabotage Christmas by repeatedly kidnapping Santa Claus, or to destroy the Kukurian creatures just because they annoyed her by being happy), are often centered around gaining ultimate evil powers and/or vengeance on her hated enemy Hugo, who keeps foiling her plots and humiliating her, by destroying him or even all the trolls. And so, again and again, it is up to Hugo and sometimes his family members (aided by the player, whose existence Scylla is aware of) to defeat the witch's magic and minions, and give to her what she deserves.

Troll Wars

Hugo: Troll Wars (a Clash of Clans clone) is different than other games in that the players can choose to become generals for either Queen Scylla or King Hugo, fighting "for glory and riches" in a great war between the evil witches and their minions and the trolls and their allies. The game-maker program Hugo: Game Factory enables one to create a simple 2D platform game with Scylla as enemy, and Hugo Goal has Scylla as just a referee.
