Chimeran

A chimera.

A chimeran is a monster that possesses a combination of body parts from many different beasts. They are named after the most famous of their lot, the chimera. While some have their own unique origins, it is widely believed that most are the result of magic, either through a mage's experiments or - more commonly - an accidental result of a powerful, uncontrolled magic explosion. They are commonly found in areas blasted by mage wars, such as the Endless Wastes.
