Scylla (BW)
Scylla is a God Neptune member and Predacon in the Beast Wars II portion of the Beast Era.
Scylla (pronounced "skyoo-la") is a pirate wench, and proud of it! The second strongest of the God Neptune team, Scylla uses her powerful beast mode in battle. Her greatest attack is the "Kiss of Death." Very fast underwater, she and Terrormander form the combined God Neptune robot-mode legs.
Scylla felt madly in love with the Maximal Scuba at first sight, and pursues him tirelessly... in spite of the fact that the Maximal Bighorn is in love with her, a fact to which she seems quite oblivious.
Put delicately, despite her manifold virtues, Scylla is not the brightest of the Seacons. But they still love her.

Beast Wars II Cartoon
Beast Wars II Manga
In the manga, Scylla fell in love with Scuba rather by accident. Bighorn, after first laying eyes on Scylla, became infatuated with her. However, being so stupid, he could not muster the creativity to craft her a proper love letter. After a bit of coersing, Bighorn convinced his teammate Scuba (renowned for his poetic skills) to write her a magnificent love letter for him.
Bad move. Scylla received the letter, and due to a grievous error, discovered that Scuba wrote it and gained the wrong impression. She then fell madly in love with him, chasing the reluctant bachelor all over Gaia. Bighorn eventually managed to express his feelings to Scylla in his own crude manner, but was shot-down in a rather friendly way. Scylla informed him that, were he a squid, he might have had a chance.
Beast Wars Cartoon
The name "Scylla" (this time pronounced "silla") was mentioned in an episode of Beast Wars as a set of coordinates. This was most likely intended to reference a fan who want by the screen name "Scylla," who had named herself after the Beast Wars II character.

Beast Wars II
- God Neptune (Ultra, 1998)
- Japanese ID number: D-21
- Available only in the God Neptune multi-pack, Scylla is a redeco of the Generation 1 Seacon Tentakil, transforming into an ambulatory squid-monster. Like her fellow God Neptune partners, Scylla lacks her individual weapons and and "weapon stand" parts. Being part of the Scramble City design, she can form the arm or leg to any compatible super robot, but her standard placement is as the left leg to God Netpune.
- For unknown reasons, a great number of unboxed God Neptune sets --lacking all of their accessories, including combiner parts-- ended up available on the secondary market. These went for considerably less than the "complete" releases, naturally.
- This mold was also used to make the Masterforce Seacon Tentakil. It was also slated to be released as Energon Tentakil, as part of an exclusive Piranhaking multi-pack that as of now remains unreleased.
