(Incomprehensible) Berserk Chimaera

Lore[]

The chimaera despises the human race. A single whiff of human will cause it to hunt down the source of the scent, regardless of its surroundings. If found, the human will not survive for long.

Name Origin[]

The Chimera (also Chimaera or Chimæra) was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing female creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of multiple animals: upon the body of a lioness with a tail that ended in a snake's head, the head of a goat arose on her back at the center of her spine. The Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. The term chimera has also come to describe any mythical animal with parts taken from various animals and, more generally, an impossible fantasy.
