When I say Scylla, I mean the megatherian of Urth.
The reason I suggest it is only that the original Scylla is does make an 
appearance in "Short Sun". They seem very similar. It makes literary 
sense is all. I have no further information to defend that hypothesis.

Mother might actually BE the megatherian Scylla rather than just of the 
same species. We know the Rajan can time travel when he dream travels 
because 1) he travels back into time to take part in the grandmother's 
story in In Green's Jungles and 2) the time-line from when Horn leaves 
home until when he returns is all screwed up. If the Rajan can time 
travel, then the Neighbors can time travel, and reasonably Mother can as 
well. I realize the can of eels that opens for tBotNS and tUotNS.
