The beast seems all wrong to mother (5)
I believe the answer is:
llama
'the beast' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'all wrong to mother' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to mother' becomes 'ma' (Ma is another word for mother or mum).
'all' is an anagram of 'lla'.
'lla'+'ma'='LLAMA'
'seems' is the link.
(Other definitions for llama that I've seen before include "S American animal related to the camel" , "Load-carrier" , "Even-toed camel relative" , "Alpaca-like animal" , "Wool producer" .)
