A chimera is a horrid combination of three different creatures. It has three heads (goat, lion, and dragon), the forebody of a lion, the hindquarters of a goat, and the wings and tail of a dragon. The goat’s head butts, the lion’s head bites, and the dragon’s head can bite or breathe fire (a cone 50’ long and 10’ wide at the end, for 3-18 points of damage). The breath can only be used 3 times per day. If determined randomly, the chance of breathing is 50% per round, as with dragons. Chimerae usually live in wild hills, but may occasionally be found in dungeons.
