A chimera is a hybrid monster with the head and forearms of a lion, the back legs and second head of a goat, and a serpent in place of a tail. One of the deadliest monsters in existence, it possesses magic, can breathe fire, and can spit venom. Perhaps the most infamous of all such hybrid creatures, it lends its name to them as [[Chimeran|chimerans]].

==Origins==

It is unknown how chimeras were first created. Some say they were the result of magical experiments or wild magic gone awry, such as in the [[The Wastes|Blasted Wastes]], causing mutations in nearby beasts. Other stories claim the chimera is the offspring of [[Typhon]], Lord of all Monsters. It has certainly existed since long before most of the recorded mage wars, as far back as the Heroic Age.

==Abilities==

Each of the chimera's three heads is deadly in its own way. The lion is tremendously strong, with great fangs and claws, and according to some stories can breathe fire. The goat is the most clever head, able to discern would-be tricks, and can cast magic spells. And the serpent is fast and deadly, guarding the creature from flanking attacks, and can spit deadly venom. Only the bravest and most experienced heroes would dare tangle with a chimera.

+A chimera is an infamous monster, one of the deadliest and most feared of all beasts and the namesake of all [[Chimeran|chimerans]]. It is depicted widely across the [[Achaean Empire]] as a symbol of ferocity, strength, and primal power, as well as being one of the greatest monsters slain by heroes in the ancient ages.
 ==Appearance==
-The chimera has the head and forearms of a lion, the back legs and second head of a goat, and a serpent in place of a tail. Chimeras are not to be confused with the [[manticore]], a similar but very different creature composed of several different beasts.
+The chimera has the head and forearms of a lion, the back legs and second head of a goat, and a serpent in place of a tail. They are enormous, their coloration said to be motley thanks to their combined nature. With the strength of a lion, keen wits, and even the capability to cast spells, the chimera has many methods of attack. The lion head is capable of breathing fire, the serpent can spit paralytic venom, and the goat supposedly possesses magic. Chimeras are not to be confused with the [[manticore]], a similar but very different creature composed of several different beasts.
 ==Nature==
-Chimeras are the best-known and among the most feared of all its kind, the so-called "chimerans," or beasts composed of many creatures seemingly mutated together. Some say creatures such as the chimera were the result of magical experimentation or some other magic out of control, such as the [[Mage Wars of Sinkarya]]. Others say the chimera and its kind are the offspring of [[Typhon]], Lord of Monsters. No one knows the truth. Regardless, chimeras have appeared in tales as early as before the days of the [[Achaean Empire]].
