{{{Quote}}}
The Chimera’s mixture of animal characteristics and foul temperament make it a dangerous adversary. It can attack a single victim viciously with various bites and rakes of its sharp talons, and it can also breath a blast of energy from the mouth of the Dragon head, depending on the color of the dragon. It will typically attack by swooping down on its prey, each head attempting to take a bite out of its food while the body rakes at the target, and will resort to its breath weapon when desperate, or if the meal attempts to flee.

Qualities
- Triple Heads: The Chimera has three heads: One dragon, one lion, and one goat. On each turn, choose one head to take an action (or determine randomly). The color of the Chimera's dragon head (which can be chosen or determined randomly), determines the shape and damage type of the Chimera's Breath Weapon attack. Additionally, because of the Chimaera's three heads, it gains a +5 racial bonus to all Sensory Skills and Awareness. (inc)
- Animal Instincts: Animals do not suffer penalties to their Initiative Score, Awareness, or Sensory Skills due to their low intelligence.(inc)
- Natural Armor: AC +2/+6 (inc) Quote=
